“Florida,” Groff’s new collection of short stories, is headquartered in a “dense, damp tangle” of a state, “an Eden of dangerous things.”
Taken together, the stories have the feel of autobiography, although, as in a Salvador Dali painting, their emotional disclosures are encrypted in phantasmagoria.
This is a book full of short stories, Lauren Groff (Fates and the Furies), shows the wild state of the state of Florida through the lives of people that live there, spanning decades and locations. From two young girls having to fight for their lives on an island in to a woman who escapes Florida to travel through Europe with her sons, each story brings readers into a world more raw and realistic than the moniker The Sunshine State would have you believe. Through these spellbinding stories, Groff explores the power our nature has to shape our lives.
