Liberation Day: Stories
by George Saunders
Not Saunders’ best. Might be his worst. Not terrible. Just a dud. But him being my favorite, a dud still shines in this case. I’d give it a read still. 3.5 I guess *shrug*
Also, it was nice to see a familiar face—Elliot Spencer from the New Yorker was in just past the middle. On that note, I think the structure would have definitely benefitted if he led with that story first, giving that usual ole Saunders weirdness without losing his touch then have Liberation Day in the middle as a nice cushion, being near novella length. He does this with Pastoralia having bounty near the middle. I think a structural or developmental editor should have spoke up about that IMHO.
