Karen Russell

In Karen Russell's much-heralded debut novel, Swamplandia! (Random House, $14.95), Ava is a resourceful thirteen year old whose Florida island home and gator-wrestling theme park, Swamplandia!, is being threatened by a fearsome and sophisticated competitor called the World of Darkness. "Lavishly imagined and spectacularly crafted," says Booklist. Russell was named by The New Yorker in its list of "20 Under 40 Authors to Watch."
