Description: text file
Since its publication in 1996, George Saunders?s debut collection has grown in esteem from a cherished cult classic to a masterpiece of the form, inspiring an entire generation of writers along the way. In six stories and a novella, Saunders hatches an unforgettable cast of characters, each struggling to survive in an increasingly haywire world. With a new introduction by Joshua Ferris and a new author?s note by Saunders himself, this edition is essential reading for those seeking to discover or revisit a virtuosic, disturbingly prescient voice. ? Praise for George Saunders and CivilWarLand in Bad Decline ? “It?s no exaggeration to say that short story master George Saunders helped change the trajectory of American fiction.” ? The Wall Street Journal ? “Saunders?s satiric vision of America is dark and demented; it?s also ferocious and very funny.” ?Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times ? “George Saunders is a writer of arresting brilliance and originality, with a sure sense of his material and apparently inexhaustible resources of voice. [ CivilWarLand in Bad Decline ] is scary, hilarious, and unforgettable.” ?Tobias Wolff ? “Saunders makes the all-but-impossible look effortless.” ?Jonathan Franzen ? “Not since Twain has America produced a satirist this funny.” ?Zadie Smith ? “An astoundingly tuned voice?graceful, dark, authentic, and funny?telling just the kinds of stories we need to get us through these times.” ?Thomas Pynchon
