Description:
"Liberation Day" is the eagerly anticipated short story collection by George Saunders, a Man Booker Prize-winning and New York Times-bestselling author known for his acclaimed work "Lincoln in the Bardo." In this collection, Saunders presents a compelling exploration of the complexities of our increasingly troubled world, marking his first short story collection in a decade since the New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist, "Tenth of December."
George Saunders, often lauded as the 'best short story writer in English' by Time magazine, returns with a masterful collection that delves into themes of power, ethics, and justice while addressing the essence of living in a communal society with our fellow humans. His trademark prose, characterized by its wicked humor, unsentimental tone, and impeccable craftsmanship, continues to captivate and challenge readers. Within this collection, readers will discover a range of prismatic and deeply resonant stories that encompass moments of joy and despair, oppression and revolution, bizarre fantasy, and harsh reality.
One standout story, "Love Letter," unfolds as a tender message from a grandfather to his grandson amidst a dystopian political backdrop, serving as a poignant reminder of our responsibilities to our ideals, ourselves, and one another. In "Ghoul," readers are transported to a Hell-themed section of an underground amusement park in Colorado, following the journey of a lonely and morally complex character named Brian, who begins to question his assumptions about reality.
"Mother’s Day" explores an existential reckoning between two women who once loved the same man, occurring in the midst of a hailstorm. Meanwhile, "Elliott Spencer" tells the story of an eighty-nine-year-old protagonist who becomes a victim of brainwashing, his memory 'scraped' in a scheme that reprograms and deploys vulnerable individuals as political protesters.
Collectively, these nine subversive, profound, and indispensable stories encourage readers to view the world with the same generosity and clear-eyed attention as George Saunders, even in the most absurd and challenging circumstances. "Liberation Day" promises to be a thought-provoking and compelling addition to Saunders' body of work.
