LIBERATION DAY : FROM ‘THE WORLD’S BEST SHORT STORY WRITER’ (THE TELEGRAPH) AND WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE

One of the best science fiction short stories to be published in the 21st century so far SFX Review Saunders is funny and kind as ever, and his narrative virtuosity puts him up there with the best Anne Enright, Guardian A triumph of storytelling i paperA joy. Effortlessly stylish, funny and smart Daily Mail____________The first short story collection in ten years from the Man Booker Prize-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Lincoln in the BardoMacArthur genius and Booker Prize-winner George Saunders returns with a collection of short stories that make sense of our increasingly troubled world, his first since the New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist Tenth of DecemberThe best short story writer in English (Time) is back with a masterful collection that explores ideas of power, ethics, and justice, and cuts to the very heart of what it means to live in community with our fellow humans. With his trademark prose - wickedly funny, unsentimental, and perfectly tuned - Saunders continues to challenge and surprise: here is a collection of prismatic, deeply resonant stories that encompass joy and despair, oppression and revolution, bizarre fantasy and brutal reality. Love Letter is a tender missive from grandfather to grandson, in the midst of a dystopian political situation in the not-too-distant future, that reminds us of our obligations to our ideals, ourselves, and each other. Ghoul is set in a Hell-themed section of an underground amusement park in Colorado, and follows the exploits of a lonely, morally complex character named Brian, who comes to question everything he takes for granted about his reality. In Mothers Day, two women who loved the same man come to an existential reckoning in the middle of a hailstorm. And in Elliott Spencer, our eighty-nine-year-old protagonist finds himself brainwashed - his memory scraped - a victim of a scheme in which poor, vulnerable people are reprogrammed and deployed as political protesters.
