About
Details
Delicate Edible Birds and Other Stories was an engaging and riveting book of short stories from one of my favorite contemporary American authors, Lauren Groff. Since I first read her book of short stories, Florida a few years ago, I have voraciously read every book that Lauren Groff has published and I find her writing stunning.
