I love George Saunders so damn much. His writing style is fantastic, and I was happy that there were a few stories that were in his signature alternate/quirky reality. I especially enjoyed "Love Letter," and I'd love to talk to him about it now that the state of the world has gone the way it has.

My favorite collection of his so far. Every story feels unique, and impactful. Wonderful writing. I love the twist he puts on Chekhov's classic "The Darling" in "Sparrow." The title story is a masterpiece. Just great.
