About the Book

«El mejor cuentista actual en lengua inglesa» (Time) regresa con una colección de cuentos tan malvados como divertidos para tratar de dar sentido a un mundo cada vez más problemático.

George Saunders regresa con una colección de cuentos magistral en la que explora las ideas de poder, ética y justicia, y llega al corazón mismo de lo que significa vivir en comunidad con nuestros semejantes. Con su prosa característica, malvadamente divertida, desprovista de sentimentalismo y perfectamente afinada, Saunders continúa desafiando y sorprendiendo: sus cuentos abarcan la alegría y la desesperación, la opresión y la revolución, la fantasía extraña y la realidad brutal.

«Gul» se desarrolla en una sección de temática infernal de un parque de atracciones subterráneo en Colorado, y sigue las hazañas de un personaje solitario y moralmente complejo llamado Brian, quien comienza a cuestionar todo lo que da por sentado sobre su realidad. En «El Día de la Madre», dos mujeres que amaron al mismo hombre llegan a una decisión existencial en medio de una granizada. Y en «Elliott Spencer», a nuestro protagonista de ochenta y nueve años le lavan el cerebro como parte de un proyecto por el que personas pobres y vulnerables son reprogramadas y utilizadas como manifestantes políticos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "One of our most inventive purveyors of the form returns with pitch-perfect, genre-bending stories that stare into the abyss of our national character. . . . An exquisite work from a writer whose reach is galactic."--Oprah Daily

Booker Prize winner George Saunders returns with his first collection of short stories since theNew York Times bestseller Tenth of December.

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, Oprah Daily, NPR, Time, USA Today, The Guardian, Esquire, Newsweek, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Library Journal

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 exquisitely tuned--Saunders 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.

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.
