Review: The worlds painted by Karen Russell are weird, wonderful and very recognisable. I thoroughly enjoyed the imagery, the unapologetic strangeness of the characters and the emotions they invoked. These stories speak of growing up and changing, but they do so without ever getting sentimental or forced. And when the reader is left hanging at the sudden ends of the stories, it feels right. The way dreams are strange and yet familiar, end abruptly and still tell us a lot about ourselves.

Review: I'm afraid this author did not convince me that the short story is worth my time. Convoluted at best.
