The Antidote

Karen Russell

In conversation with Jason De Leon

Pulitzer finalist, MacArthur Fellowship recipient, and bestselling author of Swamplandia!, Karen Russell will discuss her new novel, The Antidote, with friend, anthropologist, and National Book Award-winning, bestselling non-fiction writer of Soldiers and Kings, Jason De Leon.

The Antidote is a gripping dust bowl epic about five characters whose fates become entangled after a storm ravages their small Nebraskan town.

“Russell has always expertly woven the strange into depictions of the everyday, and her long-awaited second novel is no exception. A storytelling tour de force that lives up to the promise of its name.”
