Karen Russell has built her literary reputation on stories that bend reality without losing emotional grounding. A Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Swamplandia!, Russell often blends the strange and the intimate, pairing mythic elements with sharp psychological detail. Her work moves comfortably between short fiction and novels, usually anchored by characters navigating isolation, transformation, or the surreal edges of ordinary life. At Kepler’s Books, she will be in conversation with Adam Johnson about her latest book, The Antidote
