Reviews
Praise for George Saunders:

"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

"Mr. Saunders writes like the illegitimate offspring of Nathanael West and Kurt Vonnegut. His satiric vision of America is dark and demented; it is also ferocious and very funny."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"A master of distilling the disorders of our time into fiction."--Salon.com
