Florida, a collection of short stories by Lauren Groff, features, in nearly every story, the state in the title.
Certainly, this is an interesting collection. Groff knows how to tell a story that is off kilter, familiar but odd. Many collections like this are being published, it seems to be part of our zeitgeist.
This is our world, we live in it, but it is sliding away from our grasp. Both at the center and the margins, our actions and the world’s responses no longer correspond. In such a world, the stories in Florida are our grand narrative.
