He takes us on a trip to the shopping malls and theme parks and enviromental hazards that lie just around the chronological corner, introducing us to a gang of misfits and losers struggling to survive in an increasingly haywire world. Bizarre but familiar, fierce but always humane, these are stunningly original stories by a master of the form.   'Saunders is a morally passionate, serious writer, who perfectly expresses the madness of the times we live in. He will be read long after these times have passed' Zadie Smith'He makes the all-but-impossible look effortless. We're lucky to have him' Jonathan Franzen'There is no-one better, no-one more essential' Dave Eggers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Saunders","offers":[{"title":"176 pages \/ 01\/12\/2016 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":56970460889463,"sku":"9781784871291","price":8.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781784871291.jpg?v=1775159121","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781784871291","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
