I'm a little peeved this story collection starts with an excerpt from Swamplandia and includes the character that ruined that whole novel for me. I don't understand why this book was published after Swamplandia yet one of the short stories is pulled from that full novel

I want to be on whatever Karen Russell was on when she wrote that first short story
