Career
Russell is best known for his debut book, I Am Sorry to Think I Have Raised a Timid Son.[2][3] A collection of Russell’s essays, the book documents his personal journey as a child.[4][5] In 2015, Russell was recognized in Refinery29's list of "21 New Authors You Need to Know."[6]
In July 2020, Russell published his second book, the nonfiction In the Land of Good Living: A Journey to the Heart of Florida. Reviewing for The Atlantic, writer Lauren Groff called the book "brilliant," adding, "I’ve never read an account of our gorgeous and messed-up state that is a more appropriate match of form and function. The spirit of Don Quixote presides over its buddy-trip plotline. . . This feels like both the real and the true story of Florida."[7]
Russell has also contributed to GQ Magazine, n+1, Harper's Magazine, The Believer, and The New Republic.[8][9][10][11] Russell was also a finalist for Brooklyn Public Library’s Eagles Prize.[12] In 2015, Russell was recognized in Refinery29's list of "21 New Authors You Need to Know."[13]
