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.

In a profoundly strange country called Inner Horner, large enough for only one resident at a time, citizens waiting to enter the country fall under the rule of the power-hungry and tyrannical Phil, setting off a chain of injustice and mass hysteria.

An Animal Farm for the 21st century, this is an incendiary political satire of unprecedented imagination, spiky humor, and cautionary appreciation for the hysteric in everyone. Over six years in the writing, and brilliantly and beautifully packaged, this novella is Saunders'' first stand-alone, book-length work—and his first book for adults in five years.

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.
