Omschrijving
THE 2017 MAN BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF LINCOLN IN THE BARDO
In his first collection, George Saunders' vision of our near future is as black and funny as you can get. We're lucky to have him' Jonathan Franzen
'There is no-one better, no-one more essential' Dave Eggers
One of the few living masters of the [short story] genre
Surreal and puncturing
There is no author I recommend to people more often - for ten years I've urged George Saunders onto everyone and everyone.
[A] brilliant collection of short stories
Strangely moving, hilariously unsettling, and unlike anything else you'll read this year
