Tenth of December: Stories by George Saunders

5.0

I LOVE George Saunders. This collection of short stories was offbeat, satirical, and playful while diving headfirst into darkness and chaos. I find many of his stories similar in tone to David Sedaris.

Saunders’ characters feel deeply human and relatable. Most stories require the reader to play along with a strange narrative style or unusual construction, but I find the reward is always worth it.

I particularly enjoyed “Al Roosten” and the titular story, “Tenth of December” though don’t think there was a weak story in the bunch.
