CivilWarLand in Bad Decline by George Saunders

5.0

Really enjoyed this collection of short stories. Evocative, enough strageness to make it unsettling but not so strange as to make it un-relateable, and really packing a punch into 6-10 pages. Isabella and The 400 Pound CEO are stories that will really stay with you.

Be sure to read s.penkevich's review below. Really beautifully said.

" I have a sense that God is unfair and preferentially punishes his weak, his dumb, his fat, his lazy. I believe he takes more pleasure in his perfect creatures, and cheers them on like a brainless dad as they run roughshod over the rest of us."
