Pastoralia

Saunders, lauded as one of The New Yorker's Future of American Fiction writers, has an acerbic take on contemporary life, revealed in these sharp and witty stories. From the story of a post-apocalyptic caveman with cavewoman problems to a tale about an exotic dancer whose commanding grandmother rises from the dead, Saunders does what most young writers do not—he invents and surprises, creating a voice of his own.
