  5. George Saunders hasn't written a novel, and I don't care

    When I was a 30-year-old MFA student just starting the Creative Writing program in fiction at UC Irvine, I sat down with my advisor.

  6. Review: 'Tenth of December' by George Saunders

    If I told you that George Saunders' new collection of stories is full of talking snack cakes, you would probably be like, &quot;Oh, good, no one captures the morally ambiguous inflection of the talking snack cake like George Saunders." In "Pastoralia" (2000) and "In Persuasion Nation" (2006), Saunders reconceived the short story as a souped-up electric sheep, channeling the advertising slogans and self-help jargon that define our sensory-overloaded mediascape: reality as the most unreal reality show of all. The thesis was anything but new, but it's rarely been as hilariously driven home. "Jon," from "In Persuasion Nation," shows Saunders in full-on Baudrillardian-bobble mode:

  7. George Saunders gets real in new story collection

    For George Saunders, the lines between utopia and dystopia, between realism and science fiction, between humor and horror, have always been fine. Never is it more true, though, than in his new collection of short stories, &ldquo;Tenth of December.&rdquo; Saunders has stripped these stories of the skewed settings that marked his earlier works, concentrating instead on rendering a very real, very genuine world and all the emotion that flows within it. A streak of absurdity still runs through it, but it's much more organic in nature.&nbsp;&nbsp;
