George Saunders is brilliant. Fox 8 is 49 small pages, and it will be one of the loveliest, funniest, saddest stories you will read. Upon finishing this I am sitting in my car crying, because this brief story reminds me of loss, hope, perseverance, cruelty and kindness. I am reminded what humanity means by a brilliant little fox.

Great concept, and it's a fun brain-bender to get used to the spelling (first-grade teachers will excel at this!). I felt there was a missed opportunity for deep poignancy here, but the message and emotions stayed surface level.

missbookiverse's review against another edition
4.0
Fuchs 8 kam viel witziger daher als ich erwartet hatte. Das liegt vor allem daran, dass der Fuchs selbst erzählt in der von ihm erlernten "mänschischen" Sprache. Das zieht einige Orthografie- und Grammatikfehler mit sich, die ihn manchmal wie einen deutschsprechenden Niederländer, dann wieder wie einen lässigen Experten fĂźr Kiezdeutsch klingen lassen. ĂuĂerst erheiternd. In der zweiten Hälfte wird es zunehmend trauriger und nachdenklicher. Die Botschaft, die das Buch vermittelt, ist simpel, nahezu banal, aber eben trotzdem wahr und wichtig.
