Lynn Steger Strong writes about precarity—financial, marital, familial. "Flight" (2022), her third novel, unfolds over a few days as an extended family gathers in Florida after a death, each character carrying debts and disappointments. Strong's essays on motherhood, money, and the literary life have appeared widely. Her fiction finds drama in mortgage payments and school pickups, the daily grind that shapes lives.
