I frigging love Saunders. Danielle turned me on to him a few years ago and I have been obsessed ever since. His collections Civilwarland in Bad Decline and In Persuasion Nation are just as good. 5 Scoops all around!
The problem with George Saunders (at least civilwarland) is that if you read, say, seven stories in a row, his tricks start to become very transparent. This is the problem with Denis Johnson, too.
i LOVE LOVE LOVE these stories.
ReplyDeleteYay! Yay! Yay!

ReplyDeleteI was nervous about reading the other collections and being let down, but now I will read them for sure!
