Maureen Corrigan reviewed Russell's new DustBowlera novel, praising its vivid imagination and predicting awardseason buzz.
Maureen Corrigan says she expects Russell's new novel, The Antidote, will be on a lot of prize lists this year.
The Antidote has just come out, and now we know why it took so long. American epics take a while.
The Antidote is set in a Dust Bowl-era Nebraska town called Uzz, but it also reaches back to the earlier pioneer era Russell evoked in her short story masterpiece, Proving Up.
The Antidote is a prairie witch who goes by the name The Antidote. Part huckster, mostly healer.
