Spanning two decades, Bloomland examines the social roots and
community fallout of a shooting at a fictional southern university. As

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.
