Lauren Groff in the Times Union

Elizabeth Floyd Mair interviews Lauren Groff in the Times Union.

Q: What was it like to write half of the book or so from the perspective of a small child?

A: I wrote the first draft in the first person. And it's very different to write in the first person from the perspective of a child versus in the third person. And I found, when it was in the first person, that it was just incredibly limited. Working in the third person, I was able to add elements that would help to make sense of Bit's experiences.

Groff visits tomorrow, Tuesday, March 27th.
