One of the most important and blazingly original writers of his generation, George Saunders is an undisputed master of the short story, and Tenth of December is his most honest, accessible, and moving collection yet. Writing brilliantly and profoundly about class, sex, love, loss, work, despair, and war, Saunders cuts to the core of the contemporary experience. The New York Times raves that this is “the best book you’ll read this year.” These stories take on the big questions and explore the fault lines of our own morality, delving into the questions of what makes us good and what makes us human.
