Lauren Groff — Brawler: Stories
Award-winning author Lauren Groff presents her new story collection Brawler at Politics and Prose, in conversation with Danielle Evans.
Why we picked this
Groff is one of the best sentence-level writers working today. Paired with Danielle Evans, this is a conversation between two people who understand what short fiction can do.
Lauren Groff returns to Politics and Prose with Brawler, her latest story collection. Groff has built a reputation as one of American fiction’s most precise and adventurous writers, with work that ranges from historical Florida (Matrix) to the mythic recesses of everyday life (Florida, Fates and Furies).
The conversation is moderated by Danielle Evans, herself a celebrated short story writer. The pairing points toward a discussion grounded in the mechanics and ambitions of the form rather than the usual book-tour surface.
