- Book Synopsis
- Winner of the VCU Cabell First Novel Award Winner of the 2018 Dzanc Prize for FictionAn Indies Introduce PickA Kirkus Best Books of 2019 selection Spanning two decades, Bloomland examines the social roots and community fallout of a shooting at a fictional southern university. As the narrative moves between the lives of a disillusioned student, a grieving professor, and the shooter himself, the psyches and stories of each character blend and intersect, ultimately asking us to rethink American myths of selfhood, grief, and violence as a redemptive act. Profound and deeply nuanced, Bloomland is a dazzling debut that walks in step with the novels of Garth Greenwell, Rachel Kushner, and Louise Erdrich.
