A review by philibin
CivilWarLand in Bad Decline by George Saunders
4.0
(3.75 Stars)
This was a fun collection of Short Stories. There are a lot of comparisons of Saunders to [a:Edgar Allen Poe|22676442|Edgar Allen Poe|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png], but I find more similarities to [a:Donald Barthelme|24425|Donald Barthelme|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1437379717p2/24425.jpg], which from me, is high praise.
What is also interesting is the chapter about the Author and his journey to write this book. Possibly this is even more interesting to me because we live(d) in a lot of the same places.
You should enjoy this book if you like short fiction, absurdist writing, satirical works, or general fiction.
