Author: George SaundersHumourPublished on 2nd November 2017 by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC in the United Kingdom.Paperback / softback | 272 pages 197mm x 130mm x 17mm | 198g In this, his first collection of essays, Saunders trains his eye on the real world rather than the fictional and reveals it to be brimming with wonderful, marvellous strangeness. As he faces a political and cultural reality saturated with lazy media, false promises and political doublespeak, Saunders invokes the wisdom of American literary heroes Twain, Vonnegut and Barthelme and inspires us to re-examine our assumptions about the world we live in, as we struggle to discover what is really there.
