Brawler — Lauren Groff
$39.00
“Groff is one of this country’s most successful and versatile literary figures.” — New York Times
“Required reading.” — Los Angeles Times
“A knockout.” — Minnesota Star Tribune
From one of the most acclaimed writers of her generation comes a fierce and arresting collection of nine stories that span decades and landscapes — from 1950s New England to contemporary Florida and California.
In Brawler, Groff explores the ongoing struggle between our better and darker instincts. Her characters include a young woman suddenly responsible for a disabled sibling, a volatile high school swimmer searching for guidance, a grieving mother undone by loss, and a privileged heir confronting a complicated inheritance.
Each story stands on its own — precise, emotionally charged, and deeply observant — but together they form a powerful meditation on love and fear, compassion and violence, survival and sacrifice.
