Krátky popis
The first short story collection in ten years from the Man Booker
Prize-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Lincoln in the
Bardo MacArthur 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 December The
'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 'Mother's 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. Together, these nine subversive, profound,
and essential stories coalesce into a case for viewing the world
with the same generosity and clear-eyed attention as Saunders does,
even in the most absurd of circumstances.
