Tenth of December by George Saunders

"George Saunders Has Written the Best Book You'll Read All Year," declared the cover of the New York Times Magazine several weeks ago. Since then the world has rushed to agree that Saunders' new story collection, Tenth of December, is a remarkable literary achievement. George Saunders joins host David Naimon to discuss his work.

“George Saunders is a complete original, unlike anyone else, thank god—and yet still he manages to be the rightful heir to three other complete American originals—Barthelme (the lyricism, the playfulness), Vonnegut (the outrage, the wit, the scope), and Twain (the common sense, the exasperation). There is no author I recommend to people more often—for ten years I’ve urged George Saunders onto everyone and everyone. You want funny? Saunders is your man. You want emotional heft? Saunders again. You want stories that are actually about something—stories that again and again get to the meat of matters of life and death and justice and country? Saunders. There is no one better, no one more essential to our national sense of self and sanity.”—Dave Eggers
