Lauren Groff Talks Fates & Furies

In a lot of senses, this book is as much a critique of the novel as it is a novel. It’s about the assumptions we have about who gets to create, and what has been created, and how stories get told… People have charged me with misandry, which is crazy because I truly, deeply love men… But of course this is a feminist novel, because a feminist is just someone who recognizes power structures that keep people from having the fullest life they can.

Lit Hub has an interview with Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies (2015), which has been lauded as one of the best books of the year.
