Orange World is a collection of short stories written by Karen Russel who also wrote Swamplandia. In one story a young man, living with his mother, has a job collecting peat. He finds a girl's body in the bog and takes her home and falls in love. In another story a young pregnant woman makes a deal with the devil to protect her baby. In exchange, at 4:30 a.m. she has to go outside, lie on the sidewalk, and breastfeed the devil who lies in the gutter. This book has some crazy stories that I could never dream up.
