“An indispensable guide to one of the freshest and most innovative writers of the 21st century. The wide-ranging contributions from a team of international scholars capture the energy of George Saunders’s genre-busting prose, both introducing new readers to the work and offering new insights to enthusiasts. A landmark in short fiction studies.” (Ailsa Cox, Professor of Short Fiction, Edge Hill University, author of “Writing Short Stories” (2nd edition, 2016))
“Read in sequence, these essays build their own story, from the meanings of “work” in George Saunders’s art to the representations of a supersaturated consciousness in his polyphonic monologues. It’s about the moral imperatives behind the mind-tingling brilliance, the funny-sad humor and soulful grotesqueries, of a major American satirist, but it’s also about the practice of imaginative scholarship, and, not accidentally, about the inexhaustible wonders of the short story form.” (Susan Lohafer, Professor Emerita, University of Iowa, author of “Reading for Storyness” (2003))
