\"July<\/a>I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve heard from Lauren Groff, and looking at my index the last story she published in The New Yorker<\/em> — “Above and Below,” which also happens to be her only other story in the magazine — was published back in 2011. Her second novel, Arcadia<\/em>, was published in 2012 to quite a bit of acclaim. I liked “Above and Below,” and this one looks interesting as well.<\/p>\n
Groff has a novel coming out this fall called\u00a0Fates and Furies<\/em>. I haven’t seen whether “Ghosts and Empties” is an excerpt or not (though it wouldn’t surprise me). I will update this when I know.<\/p>\n
I’m interested in your thoughts, so please start and join in the conversation below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
