I've liked Groff since I read her in the Best American Short Stories series. When my writer's group decided to study her piece -- about a polio survivor learning to swim during the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic (based loosely on real-life Olympian Ethelda Bleibtrey) -- I was surprised by how I wanted to read her sentences over and over. I eagerly ordered this new book (signed, first edition) and I feel like I'm getting first glance of a major work. Thanks for choosing such complex writers for your interviews.
