Danielle Evans + Karen Russell

NYU's Friday happy-hour series showcases two rising authors. Evans's recent collection Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self projects the sass, self-assurance and sense of humor one might expect from its title. Russell accompanies child gator wrestlers and Minotaur fathers though fantastical Southern landscapes of her own design in St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves and the new Swamplandia!
