2013-03-15 00:36:40| Powells Books Events Calendar

From the author of the New York Times bestseller Swamplandia! — a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize — comes Vampires in the Lemon Grove (Knopf), a magical new collection of stories that showcases Karen Russell's gifts at their inimitable best. A dejected teenager discovers that the universe is communicating with him through talismanic objects left behind in a seagull's nest. A community of girls held captive in a silk factory slowly transmute into human silkworms, spinning delicate threads from their own bellies, and escape by seizing the means of production for their own revolutionary ends. A massage therapist discovers she has the power to heal by manipulating the tattoos on a war veteran's lower torso. Russell's wondrous new work displays a young writer of superlative originality and invention coming into the full range and scale of her powers.
