Acclaimed author Lauren Groff's new novel, The Vaster Wilds, is about a young girl on the run during Colonial times. But the writer is really questioning — what will it take to survive today?
a tight and tense novel that takes place in 1610 Jamestown.
Lauren Groff has been thinking about the end of the world a lot lately. She says she's got a stockpile of food and supplies should her family need it — MREs, machetes. No guns, but maybe soon."I thinkright now," she says."I think every household should have enough food to last through at least two weeks. This is just logical at this point."
These prepper tendencies stemmed from the pandemic, sure. But there's also the ever present worry about the climate catastrophe. The three-time National Book Award finalist famously lives in Gainesville, Fla., where hurricanes are a constant worry. So she's ready for survival.. It's a tight and tense novel that takes place in 1610 Jamestown — the starving time. The Powhatan people have the colony under siege, and food is scarce. Colonists are hungry, sick, dying, or dead.
Puritan leaders took the story and framed it in a way that dehumanized Indigenous people, says Birgit Brander Rasmussen, a professor of English at SUNY Binghamton who is working on a new critical edition of Mary Rowlandson's narrative."In this way as the Native people [were shown as] these sort of savages that are not even human. They're really just devils or manifestations of Satan," she says. Whereas, the Puritans come off as being"on this godly mission.
Groff says these accounts functionally served as pro-genocidal propaganda. But read deeply into the texts themselves and she says"there are moments of actual humanity."is running, she starts to question everything she's been told about this new world and its supposedly murderous inhabitants — it's back in London where pikes on heads along the bridge were such a common occurrence that nobody seemed to care.
