They unsettle their readers at every pass . . . A literary tour de force of precariousness set in a blistering place, a state shaped like a gun." - Kirkus , starred review "Ferocious weather and self-destructive impulses plague the characters in this assured collection...Groff's descriptions shimmer with precision...Groff's skillful prose, self-awareness, and dark humor leaven the bleakness, making this a consistently rewarding collection." - Publishers Weekly "Well-observed, unexpected writing for fans and more." - Library Journal Praise for Fates and Furies : "Lauren Groff is a writer of rare gifts, and Fates and Furies is an unabashedly ambitious novel that delivers--with comedy, tragedy, well-deployed erudition and unmistakable glimmers of brilliance throughout." -- The New York Times Book Review (cover review) " Fates and Furies is a clear-the-ground triumph." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post "[ Fates and Furies ] is a stunning 360-degree view of a complex relationship. . . .

Synopsis
FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER OF THE STORY PRIZE ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR From the universally acclaimed, New York Times bestselling author of Fates and Furies, Matrix, and the highly-anticipated The Vaster Wilds Florida is a "superlative" book ( Boston Globe ), "frequently funny" ( San Francisco Chronicle ), "brooding, inventive and often moving" (NPR Fresh Air) --as Groff is recognized as "Florida's unofficial poet laureate, as Joan Didion was for California." ( Washington Post ) In her thrilling new book, Lauren Groff brings the reader into a physical world that is at once domestic and wild--a place where the hazards of the natural world lie waiting to pounce, yet the greatest threats and mysteries are still of an emotional, psychological nature. A family retreat can be derailed by a prowling panther, or by a sexual secret. Among those navigating this place are a resourceful pair of abandoned sisters; a lonely boy, grown up; a restless, childless couple, a searching, homeless woman; and an unforgettable, recurring character--a steely and conflicted wife and mother. The stories in this collection span characters, towns, decades, even centuries, but Florida--its landscape, climate, history, and state of mind--becomes its gravitational center: an energy, a mood, as much as a place of residence. Groff transports the reader, then jolts us alert with a crackle of wit, a wave of sadness, a flash of cruelty, as she writes about loneliness, rage, family, and the passage of time. With shocking accuracy and effect, she pinpoints the moments and decisions and connections behind human pleasure and pain, hope and despair, love and fury--the moments that make us alive. Startling, precise, and affecting, Florida is a magnificent achievement., FINALIST FOR THE 2018 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER OF THE 2019 STORY PRIZE ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2018 The universally acclaimed return of the New York Times bestselling author of Fates and Furies . "Haunting and arresting." ( New York Times Book Review ) "Outstanding." ( The Boston Globe ) "Marvelous." ( The Economist ) "Gorgeously weird and limber."
