Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY: THE WASHINGTON POST, NPR, TIME, THE SEATTLE TIMES, MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE, SLATE, LIBRARY JOURNAL, KIRKUS, AND MANY MORE "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) From the award-winning, New York Times- bestselling author of The Monsters of Templeton , Arcadia , Florida and Matrix, an exhilarating novel about marriage, creativity, art, and perception. Fates and Furies is a literary masterpiece that defies expectation. A dazzling examination of a marriage, it is also a portrait of creative partnership written by one of the best writers of her generation. Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Lauren Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of twenty-four years. At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but with an electric thrill we understand that things are even more complicated and remarkable than they have seemed. With stunning revelations and multiple threads, and in prose that is vibrantly alive and original, Groff delivers a deeply satisfying novel about love, art, creativity, and power that is unlike anything that has come before it. Profound, surprising, propulsive, and emotionally riveting, it stirs both the mind and the heart.

Reviews
"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) "One of the pleasures of reading Ms. Groff is her sheer unpredictability: She can inject her narrator''s voice at any time, turn a sentence into a small hurricane." -- The New York Times "Even from her impossibly high starting point, Lauren Groff just keeps getting better and better. Fates and Furies is a clear-the-ground triumph." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post "Thrillingly good--precise, lyrical, rich, both worldly and epically transfiguring... Groff is an original writer, whose books are daringly nonconformist... The prose is not only beautiful and vigorously alert; it insists on its own heroic registration, and lifts this story of a modern marriage out of the mundane." --James Wood, The New Yorker "Lauren Groff rips at the seams of an outwardly perfect marriage in her enchanting novel Fates and Furies ." -- Vanity Fair "[ Fates and Furies ] is a stunning 360-degree view of a complex relationship... There''s almost nothing that [Groff is] not interested in and her skill set is breathtaking...It''s an incredibly ambitious work, she writes like her hands are on fire." -- Richard Russo, NPR''s Morning Edition "We can''t help but be fascinated by the possibility of what goes on behind closed doors--especially if there''s a glam, madly-in-love couple on the other side. Meet Mathilde and Lotto. Groff''s novel unfolds in a he said/she said gutting drama that you won''t be able to resist." - Marie Claire "Sentence by sentence, this novel, like [Groff''s] others, is a thoroughbred. Measured by its narrative tricks, however, it is a Trojan horse. Groff''s story of a marriage in which neither partner truly understands the other uses a sophisticated technique to tell its simple story, subverting our expectations with a two-voice counterpoint as meaningful as it is dazzling." --TIME " [This] story is a storm you hope won''t blow over: surprising, wild, with pockets of calm that build anticipation for the next squall... Groff scours her characters, laying them bare so questions of likability are moot. If, in the end, everyone is flawed, everyone also attains a kind of nobility." --O, The Oprah Magazine "The book is a master class in best lines...It''s that good. That beautiful. Occasionally, that stunning." --NPR.org " The Florida author''s third novel is billed as her most ambitious yet, filled with sex, rage and revenge." --The Wall Street Journal "Audacious and gorgeous .... The result is not only deliciously voyeuristic but also wise on the simultaneous comforts and indignities of romantic partnership." -- LA Times "[A] rich, tricky novel... Groff is a fantastically vivid writer... it''s hard to stop reading." -- Entertainment Weekly "A recounting of a 25-year marriage looks way different when told from both sides of the bed." -- Cosmopolitan "A playful and riveting read that questions whether love can be true when it''s wrapped in falsehoods." --People "Renders majestic even the most familiar moments of everyday life... Groff''s writing is striking and revelatory." --USA Today "[Groff has the] ability to write dazzlingly about sexual matters." --Vogue "A delirious, exhilarating and heartbreaking ride through the decades of one fable-like marriage ... The author demands the reader to participate, to engage deeply in order to take in all of the mysteries, flaws and triumphs of this one relationship. Read it, relish it and be sad when the ride is over." --San Francisco Chronicle "Groff breaks the novel form open at the seams... What''s different and remarkable about Groff''s third novel can be summarized in two little words: the writing. Groff is a prose virtuoso, and in Fates and Furies she offers up her writerly gifts in all their glory., Praise for Arcadia   "The raw beauty of Ms. Groff's prose is one of the best things about Arcadia. But it is by no means this book's only kind of splendor." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "This novel will swallow you whole." - The New York Times Book Review   "I was constantly torn between wanting to gulp down this book or savor its lines. Even the most incidental details vibrate with life... Arcadia wends a harrowing path back to a fragile, lovely place you can believe in."-- Ron Charles, The Washington Post   "Dazzling... it's Groff's essential human empathy that gives her work its urgency."-- Vogue   "One of our best young novelists... Groff's prismatic prose style lends itself to the darker currents that run beneath the Arcadian dream... both poetic and ambitious."-- Elle    "An astonishing novel, both in ambition and achievement, filled with revelations that appear inevitable in retrospect, amid the cycle of life and death."-- Kirkus (starred review)   Praise for The Monsters of Templeton   "The sense of sadness I feel at the approaching end of The Monsters of Templeton isn't just because the story's going to be over; when you read a good one -- and this is avery good one -- those feelings are deepened by the realization that you probably won't tie into anything that much fun again for a long time. "-- Stephen King    "[An] outstanding literary debut. . . . What Groff is really digging at here is the enigma of the human spirit and how redemption and resilience shape our lives. . . . Groff turns her story into a meditation on the nature of change and how evolution -- of a place, a family, a person -- even if it's difficult and unsettling, can bring joyous rewards."-- Miami Herald   "Groff's multilayered saga both thrills and delights with poignant, breathtaking prose. Grade: A."-- Entertainment Weekly   "It's a rare book that gives darkness a good long stare and declares, convincingly, that life contains joy. The Monsters of Templeton , a fascinating first novel by Lauren Groff, is a book with joy in its marrow. . . . Reading this exquisite book is like swimming through warm water filled with wondrous things. . . . This is a fabulous book."-- San Francisco Chronicle   "Groff's lively and poetic debut novel . . . [is] sweet and slightly wry, poignant yet beautifully understated."-- Boston Globe, Praise for Arcadia "The raw beauty of Ms. Groff's prose is one of the best things about Arcadia. But it is by no means this book's only kind of splendor." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "This novel will swallow you whole." - The New York Times Book Review "I was constantly torn between wanting to gulp down this book or savor its lines.

Reading this exquisite book is like swimming through warm water filled with wondrous things. . . . This is a fabulous book."-- San Francisco Chronicle "Groff's lively and poetic debut novel . . . [is] sweet and slightly wry, poignant yet beautifully understated."-- Boston Globe, "With Fates and Furies Lauren Groff goes many levels below the surface of a marriage, into a place that is perhaps as hard to reach as it is to describe, but Groff, a bold and marvelous writer, is able to do both. Because she''s so vitally talented line for line and passage for passage, and because her ideas about the ways in which two people can live together and live inside each other, or fall away from each other, or betray each other, feel foundationally sound and true, Fates and Furies becomes a book to submit to, and be knocked out by, as I certainly was." - Meg Wolitzer, New York Times -bestselling author of The Interestings "In a swirling miasma of language, plot, and Greek mythology, Groff weaves a fierce and gripping tale of true love gone asunder. . . . Groff''s prose is variously dewy, defiant, salacious, and bleak--a hurricane of words thrown together on every page. Yet so much of the power in this book lies in what''s unspoken. . . . An intoxicating elixir." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The plotting is exquisite, and the sentences hum; Groff writes with a pleasurable, bantering vividness. An intricate plot, perfect title, and a harrowing look at the tie that binds." - Kirkus (starred review) "Dark and dazzling. . . . [Groff''s prose] seduces the reader as much as the golden couple at the center of the compelling story. . . .Taking a page from Gillian Flynn''s Gone Girl- like view of marriage, Groff fashions a searing, multilayered portrait of a union that seems to thrive on its darkest secrets." - Booklist (starred review) "Like a classic tragedy, Groff''s novel offers high drama, hubris, and epic love, complete with Greek chorus-like asides. A singular and compelling literary read, populated with extraordinary characters; highly recommended." - Library Journal (starred review) Praise for Arcadia "The raw beauty of Ms. Groff''s prose is one of the best things about Arcadia. But it is by no means this book''s only kind of splendor." -Janet Maslin, The New York Times "This novel will swallow you whole." - The New York Times Book Review "I was constantly torn between wanting to gulp down this book or savor its lines.
