swamplandia!
.
i popped by anthropologie last week + was immediately drawn to a display of books where i found
swamplandia! a novel by karen russell.
this is only her second book - her first, 'st. lucy's home for girls raised by wolves' is hands down one of my favourite books. ever.
here is a great interview with karen russell discussing her many influences [including 'geek love' which i read ages ago - loved it! + now want to read again].
