“Saunders’s satiric vision of America is dark and demented it’s also ferocious and very funny.” -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “It’s no exaggeration to say that short story master George Saunders helped change the trajectory of American fiction.” - The Wall Street Journal Praise for George Saunders and CivilWarLand in Bad Decline
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. In six stories and a novella, Saunders hatches an unforgettable cast of characters, each struggling to survive in an increasingly haywire world. 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.
