Review:
"Brilliant, funny, original . . . also creepy and sinister . . . Karen Russell's Swamplandia! is every bit as good as her short stories promised it would be. This book will not leave my mind." (Stephen King)

"A wonderfully fertile novel by an unfairly talented writer." (Joseph O'Neill, author of Netherland)

"A gorgeous and wrenching portrait of sibling love in all its helpless and furious and panicked indefatigability, and of one girl's determination to do what she can to hold what's left of her family together." (Jim Shepard, author of Like You'd Understand Anyway)

"I can't recall the last time I came across a character who shines as brightly as Ava, or a first novel that made such a rich and lasting impression." (Carl Hiaasen)

"The novel is an experiment in how children’s minds comprehend loss, and Ava is a compelling guide...Russell’s strength is her use of language: each sentence is vividly rendered and the pages are as dense with images as the island is with life." (Fiona Wilson The Times)
Book Description:
A triumphant debut novel and follow-up to Karen Russell's universally acclaimed short story collection St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Alfred A. Knopf, 2011. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Stated "First Edition", with no number line, so a presumed First Printing. 9-1/2" tall, 315 numbered pages, followed by the last page of text, a blank page, "Acknowledgements", another blank page, and a page biography on the author, and finally a page on the type used; plain green-blue boards with lightly textured blue-green quarter binding. gilt lettering on spine only; plain ivory end pages; fore edge not trimmed. A pristine unread copy, very fine in all respects: no bumps on edges or corners, no crimping of spine. Jacket similarly pristine and undamaged; original price of "U. S. A. $24.95" on corner of front flap. Condition of book and jacket consistent with not being read. No discernible or objectionable faults on book or jacket such as marks or writing within, stains, tears, chips, or other damage that would diminish its appearance. No remainder mark, no previous owner markings or inscriptions, not price clipped, not a book club edition, not a former library book. Signed by author in thin black felt pen, on title page beneath the title. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # BMR-2022-5-3-2
