Swamplandia!
Karen Russell’s Swamplandia! is a one title Recommended Reading List. It incorporates the strong female narrator of To Kill a Mockingbird’s Scout, with the subtly of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, the believable absurdity of Haruki Murakami, and the roadside attractiveness of Tom Robbins. I typically prefer reading grittier tales, but Russell’s voice is both cynical and disarming with wry smiles and dismissive jumps in narrative that perfectly capture the tone of adolescence.
