Meet Lancelot. Get his side of the story.

Lancelot — an aspiring actor who goes by Lotto for short — and Mathilde marry at 22. A decade later, their artsy, glamorous marriage seems perfect — until Groff pulls back the curtain.

To capture two sides of the same marriage, Groff's new book, "Fates and Furies," is split down the middle. First comes Lotto's story, then comes Mathilde's. Their memories are always at odds, making for an ambitious and emotional he said/she said showdown. 

Lotto remembers an inspired proposal. Mathilde remembers saying "no." And that's just how things get started.
