Book Review “The deepest satisfaction gained by reading “Furies” after “Fates” lies less in admiring how tidily the puzzle pieces snap together — though they do — than in experiencing one’s own kaleidoscopic shift of emotions and concerns. .” "Lauren Groff's 'Fates and Furies'’ The New York Times Sunday Book Review, Robin Black, September 8, 2015

Author Quotes: "I'm always suspicious of the urge to minimize or simplify a person to a single character trait or category, which is something that we do to strangers every day. Our hearts are complex and are made exponentially even more complicated when our brains are in the mix, and there is no such thing as a perfectly good or perfectly bad person. There's a little beast in all of us." Lauren Groff
