A centrifugal lecture that both explains how the work came to be and spins you out to its inspirations like footnotes. It’s one of the best talks I’ve heard from a fiction writer. I liked Lauren Groff’s novel Matrix so much I wanted to know more about it, and luckily, right after I finished it, a lecture she gave at Notre Dame was posted online. ![]() ![]() ![]() Above all, it is a world of passion and courage and spectacular, heart-felt heroism pitched against overwhelming odds. In the company of a supreme storyteller, the reader is plunged into the unforgettable world of tribal Britain in the years before the Romans came: a twilight world of Dreamers and the magic of the gods a world where horses and dogs and the landscape itself become characters in their own right where warriors fight for honour as much as victory. Gloriously imagined, Boudica: Dreaming the Eagle recreates the beginnings of a story so powerful its impact has survived through the ages, recounting the journey to adulthood of Breaca, who at twelve kills her first warrior, and her sensitive, skilful half-brother Ban, who carries with him a vision of the future that haunts his waking hours.
