PASTORALIA was published to huge literary acclaim, establishing George Saunders, one of the NEW YORKER's twenty writers for the twenty-first century, as one of the most hypnotic and original voices of contemporary fiction. 'A cause of delight ... with a sense of humour half-way between Beckett and Monty Python, Saunders is an anarchic satirist who draws us into a near-future both surreally strange and utterly recognisable ... sharp and blackly comic' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'So spot on that you have to stop every now and again to sigh with delight ... this stuff is gold dust ... fiercely inventive, unforgettably funny and sentimental in all the right places' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
George Saunders is the author of CIVILWARLAND IN BAD DECLINE, a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award and a NEW YORK TIMES Notable Book of the year. He teaches Creative Writing at Syracuse University.
'Saunders is an astoundingly tuned voice - graceful, dark, authentic and funny - telling just the kind of stories we need to get us through these times' Thomas Pynchon
