This week, The New Yorker is announcing the longlists for the 2018 National Book Awards. Earlier this week, we shared the lists in the categories of Young People’s Literature, Translated Literature, Poetry, and Nonfiction. Today, we present the final category: Fiction.

Of the ten authors long-listed for this year’s National Book Award for Fiction, only Lauren Groff has been a previous contender for the prize, for her 2015 novel “Fates and Furies.” This year, she was selected for her book of stories, “Florida,” which conjures a sense of human fragility through encounters with the state’s natural phenomena. Katy Waldman writes that “Groff’s short fiction projects psychology outward, externalizing dread, pleasure, and innocence in feral cats, jasmine, and cygnets.” Four of the stories from the collection—“Dogs Go Wolf,” “Flower Hunters,” “The Midnight Zone,” and “Ghosts and Empties”—were originally published in this magazine.

Groff isn’t the only contender to grapple with Floridian psychology. “Gun Love,” by Jennifer Clement, follows a teen-age girl growing up in central Florida, and was published only three weeks after the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. In her review of the book, Katy Waldman wrote that the novel “tracks a group of characters who can’t help but be seduced by the power that firearms represent, even as bullets tear their lives open again and again.”
