Who says that Passing Notes doesn't have excellent taste in guests?  Well, nobody, really.  But we're very happy for Karen Russell, a Miami-raised writer, who was named a 2013 MacArthur Fellow.  If you'd like to listen to the podcast version of my interview with Karen about her novel Swamplandia!, follow this link!
