org Tales Of Transformation Make 'Vampires In The Lemon Grove' A Stunner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I'm kidding,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course. I'm well aware that it sounds like the plot of no other short story on earth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because Russell's work is original. "Original" is a word that gets applied to books as frequently as a 20-percent-off sticker at Barnes Noble,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but in this case it's accurate. I admired the access that she seems to have to the dense and dreamy material that lies deep inside the brain. I hope they would; I know I'd like to.
The transformation is subtler in my favorite story,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "The Graveless Doll of Eric Mutis." It's about a group of boys who,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], owing to the requirements of masculinity and a cruel culture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], become predators. Their prey? The eponymous Eric Mutis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wearer of Hoops sneakers. "At school,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we made a point of stealing Hoops from any kid stupid enough to wear them " Hoops were imitation Nikes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], glittered with an insulting ersatz gold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and just the sight of a pair used to enrage me. The H logo was a flamboyant way to announce to your class: Hey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'm poor!"
From time to time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the combination of supernatural and lyrical makes it read a little bit like Ray Bradbury with a creative writing degree. But while Bradbury was a master of suspense and surprise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he tended to have easily understandable intentions. Russell doesn't. Just when you think you know exactly what she's thinking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she goes somewhere deeper and more unusual. In Russell's world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], horses in a barn were once leaders of the free world; vampires seek solace in citrus fruit; and scarecrows can be people. I left this book excited by the transformations that take place not only in a great book,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also in its reader. I'm not a monster " at least,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not yet " but I'm a fan.
