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.
