Liberation Day: Stories by George Saunders
5.0
challenging dark emotional funny mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Beautiful and challenging, to the point where I needed to pause between stories just to calm back down. Most of the stories lack a linear narrative or a reliable narrator and start in the action. This approach makes these stories worth rereading several times. I especially loved the eponymous story and Sparrow.
