While reading “The Vaster Wilds” I was 100 percent sure that Lauren Groff was a genius. Now listening to her speak I’m certain of this fact. This woman has an amazing talent for detailed, descriptive narration; I fell in love with her main character from the first page. What a mind! Thank you, Lauren for sharing your talent with the world.
