In this revelatory story about first love from Karen Russell's Orange World, a young man falls in love with a two thousand year old girl that he has extracted from a mass of peat in a Northern European bog.
Through a darkly comic lens, Russell explores the vertigo of falling in and out of love, and the way that our shallow projections and fairytale fantasies can cover over the mysterious reality of another human being.
A Vintage Short.
