An Evening with George Saunders

“You’ll find the work of George Saunders frequently described as ‘funny,’ but that’s like calling a nuclear detonation warm—it’s true, abundantly so, but it fails to accurately convey the forces unleashed.... ” – San Francisco Chronicle

His most recent collection is Tenth of December, winner of the 2014 Story Prize and the 2014 Folio Prize.
