Cuando la naturaleza se vuelve loca, el corazón también.
Ganadora del Story Prize, finalista del National Book Award y uno de los Mejores Libros del Año según The New Yorker y Time Magazine.
En un mundo en el que el clima se ha vuelto impredecible, un lugar a la vez domesticado y salvaje en el que acechan los peligros feroces de la naturaleza, las mayores amenazas siguen siendo emocionales y psicológicas. Un refugio familiar puede ser destruido por una pantera que merodea o por un secreto sexual.
Dos hermanas abandonadas, un hombre que crece rodeado de serpientes cazadas por su padre, una pareja inquieta y sin hijos, y una mujer casada y desorientada son algunos de los protagonistas de estos once inolvidables relatos. El estado de Florida se transforma en una metáfora de todo el planeta, un laboratorio donde explorar las relaciones amorosas, la soledad, la ira, la familia y el paso del tiempo.
«Hay mucho de David Lynch en el paisaje floridiano de Groff. [...] Su escritura es maravillosa; su visión, perspicaz; cada historia es un tesoro reluciente que viene arrastrado desde las profundidades.» - The Economist
«Los lectores casi pueden sentir los mosquitos zumbando en sus cuellos. [...] Los depredadores muerden, los huracanes destruyen y la naturaleza no perdona.» - The Wall Street Journal
«Una escritora sobresaliente. Florida no es un libro de relatos: es un ecosistema.» - The Atlantic
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
FINALIST FOR THE 2018 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
WINNER OF THE 2019 STORY PRIZE
ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2018
The universally acclaimed return of the New York Times bestselling author of Fates and Furies.
"Haunting and arresting." (New York Times Book Review)
Florida is a "superlative" book (Boston Globe), "frequently funny" (San Francisco Chronicle), "brooding, inventive and often moving" (NPR Fresh Air) --as Groff is recognized as "Florida's unofficial poet laureate, as Joan Didion was for California." (Washington Post)
In her thrilling new book, Lauren Groff brings the reader into a physical world that is at once domestic and wild—a place where the hazards of the natural world lie waiting to pounce, yet the greatest threats and mysteries are still of an emotional, psychological nature. A family retreat can be derailed by a prowling panther, or by a sexual secret. Among those navigating this place are a resourceful pair of abandoned sisters; a lonely boy, grown up; a restless, childless couple, a searching, homeless woman; and an unforgettable, recurring character—a steely and conflicted wife and mother.
The stories in this collection span characters, towns, decades, even centuries, but Florida—its landscape, climate, history, and state of mind—becomes its gravitational center: an energy, a mood, as much as a place of residence. Groff transports the reader, then jolts us alert with a crackle of wit, a wave of sadness, a flash of cruelty, as she writes about loneliness, rage, family, and the passage of time. With shocking accuracy and effect, she pinpoints the moments and decisions and connections behind human pleasure and pain, hope and despair, love and fury—the moments that make us alive. Startling, precise, and affecting, Florida is a magnificent achievement.
