Karen Palmer — Writer and Teacher

"A gumbo of sex and blues, religion and death, racism and revenge.
Stir them all together in the cauldron of 1950s New Orleans and you've got Karen Palmer's powerful first novel, All Saints." — New York Times

"Palmer brilliantly captures the dual nature — repressive and libertine — of this singular city. An amazing, inspiring book ... Stunning." — Washington Post

"[Border Dogs is] written with skill and courage ... Palmer does the big scenes as perfectly as the small." — Chicago Tribune
