“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 Florida, Matrix, and the highly-anticipated The
Vaster Wilds: 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. Read more
