George Saunders

Valioso cronista dos absurdos da vida moderna, George Saunders (Texas, 1958) é professor de escrita criativa na Universidade de Syracuse, em Nova Iorque, e o seu inusitado percurso de vida levou-o de Chicago e Samatra à colaboração literária com a New Yorker nos anos 90. Inspirado pelo realismo sujo de Raymond Carver e pelas proezas estilísticas de Donald Barthelme, Saunders legou-nos as premiadas coletâneas de contos CivilWarLand in Bad Decline (1996), Pastoralia (2000), In Persuasion Nation (2006) e Dez de Dezembro (Ítaca, 2016), que lhe valeram elogios de David Foster Wallace, Zadie Smith e Thomas Pynchon. Soube na perfeição, e com um humor negro e incómodo, cruzar a literatura, o poderoso caos contemporâneo e uma crítica mordaz ao capitalismo e ao consumismo.
