So, as I was reading the first bits of Link's Magic for Beginners, I was struck by its resemblance to another collection of short stories I recently read. Has anyone here ever read or heard of Karen Russell's St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves?
If not, I find the feel of Russell's work to be in the same line as Link's... only with more of a Floridian-Southern-Swampland aesthetic. Ghosts, giant sea shells, phantom limbs, and people who dream the future in past-tense... you know.
So, what I'm getting at is: if you like Link's stuff, you should definitely check this Russell lady out.
