With his trademark prosewickedly funny, unsentimental, and exquisitely tunedSaunders continues to challenge and surprise: Here is a collection of prismatic, 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, all too believable) future, that reminds us of our obligations to our ideals, ourselves, and one another. "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 "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. And "My House"in a mere seven pagescomes to terms with the haunting nature of unfulfilled dreams and the inevitability of decay.Together, these nine subversive, profound, and essential stories coalesce into a case for viewing the world with the same generosity and clear-eyed attention Saunders does, even in the most absurd of circumstances. 256 pp. Englisch.
