Book

Tenth of December (2013)

Loved it. A couple of times I actually gasped as I realized where the short stories were going, and I laughed frequently, even though these are not “humor” stories. The best part was that while the surface stories were excellent, the author always took them one step further. For instance, there’s...

Congratulations, by the way: Some Thoughts on Kindness (2014)

So apparently graduation speeches are being turned into small hardcover novels with cool design elements- I read "Make Good Art" by Neil Gaiman and Chip Kidd earlier this year, and JK Rowling is coming out with one soon. I have to say, I like it. This graduation speech is about taking time and ef...

Dieci dicembre (2013)

Meh. Some of the stories were nice. One I just couldn't get through at all. I feel like overall, they're stories about people dealing with circumstances and realities that they're stuck in. Rather than being characters with ambitions and agency, they're people who act because they're supposed to,...

Fox 8: A Story (2013)

Okay, let's get this out of the way. There are two main obstacles in the way of a reader's enjoyment of Fox 8: 1st, The fact that it's written by George Saunders, an author I personally love but who seems to draw a particularly "love it or loathe it" response from readers I know. 2nd, the riting ...

CivilWarLand in Bad Decline (1997)

‘What a degraded cosmos.’We live in a world where cruelty towards others is becoming more and more accepted – how easy we rationalize our self-righteous anger against someone who cut us off, brought us an undercooked meal, said something stupid, etc., and even seen as funny. Saunders, like the gh...
