In November, we partnered with NSU University School, to welcome New York Times Best Selling Author Lauren Groff. Lauren Groff, who has been called one of the generation’s “finest living writers” by The New York Times, took the stage to share her experiences, inspirations, and creative process that have contributed to her remarkable and award-winning writing career which includes The Matrix (winner of the Joyce Carol Oates Prize and one of Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2021) and her newest release, The Vaster Wilds. Attendees were captivated by Groff’s reflections on the craft of writing and discussion on what influences and informs her best-selling works. 6-time Emmy Award-winning TV news reporter and University School parent Laurie Jennings lent her local star power to the affair, moderating a lengthy discussion with Lauren Groff. Longtime Circle of Friends will recall Groff’s first visit to NSU Alvin Sherman Library in 2008.
