02.08: George Saunders
2013-01-18 01:38:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
One of the most important and blazingly original writers of his generation, George Saunders is an undisputed master of the short story, and Tenth of December (Random House) is his most honest, accessible, and moving collection yet. Writing brilliantly and profoundly about class, sex, love, loss, work, despair, and war, Saunders cuts to the core of the contemporary experience. These stories take on the big questions and explore the fault lines of our own morality, delving into the intricacies of what makes us good and what makes us human. Unsettling, insightful, and hilarious, the stories in Tenth of December — through their manic energy, their focus on what is redeemable in human beings, and their generosity of spirit — not only entertain and delight but also fulfill Chekhov's dictum that art should "prepare us for tenderness."
