Book Synopsis

Winner of the VCU Cabell First Novel Award

Winner of the 2018 Dzanc Prize for Fiction

An Indies Introduce Pick

A Kirkus Best Books of 2019 selection


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.
