Karen Russell's Swamplandia! takes a surprising turn from magic to realism. We talk about how Russell does this and whether or not it works for us. Also, is this novel postmodern or is it something else?
This is the second novel in our Postmodern Novels of the South series. Want to talk about Swamplandia? Join our book club discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CanonicalPod where you can also find show notes, credits and extended discussions for every episode.
