From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Man Booker Prize-winning novel Lincoln in the Bardo and the story collection Tenth of December, a 2013 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.

The breakout book from "the funniest writer in America"--not to mention an official "Genius"--his first nonfiction collection ever.

George Saunders''s first foray into nonfiction is comprised of essays on literature, travel, and politics. At the core of this unique collection are Saunders''s travel essays based on his trips to seek out the mysteries of the "Buddha Boy" of Nepal; to attempt to indulge in the extravagant pleasures of Dubai; and to join the exploits of the minutemen at the Mexican border. Saunders expertly navigates the works of Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, and Esther Forbes, and leads the reader across the rocky political landscape of modern America. Emblazoned with his trademark wit and singular vision, Saunders''s endeavor into the art of the essay is testament to his exceptional range and ability as a writer and thinker.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

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.
