Her short stories have been published frequently in The New Yorker and The Atlantic.

There will also be music by the Medieval musical stylings of Annette Kruisbrink and Franka van Essen of LAIS, a guitar and vocal duo who have set the poems of Marie de France to music.
Nearly dreamlike throughout its narrative, MATRIX is governed by a complex mixture of consuming passion, aberrant faith, sensuality, and religious ecstasy. Den prisbelønnede forfatter Lauren Groff tegner et lyslevende og dybt originalt portræt af en for længst glemt historisk kvindeskikkelse, Marie de France. In this fictional biography of poet and mystic Marie de France, Groff explores the rich possibilities of this community of sisters, delving into questions of power, sexuality, and what makes a visionary. Matrix is another masterpiece from a writer whom few at this point can best. Matrix er en sanselig og visionær roman fra et middelalderkloster og en fortælling om skaberkraft, begær og kvindelige fællesskaber. The youngest daughter of a French noble family and the last child in a long line of female warriors and crusaders, Marie shakes the mud from her threadbare habit and devotes herself – body and soul – to revivifying her struggling community. Set in the early Middle Ages, MATRIX is a mystical exploration of the raw power of female creativity in a corrupt and dangerous world.ĭeemed too coarse for marriage and cast out of the English court of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Marie de France is banished by the Queen to take charge of an impoverished community of nuns on the brink of starvation and beset by disease: Marie is cast into a new life of another’s design. On Thursday 23 February, The John Adams Institute host an evening with rising American literary star Lauren Groff, whose most recent novel inhabits the borderlands between myth and history.
