George Saunders

Following the release of George Saunders’ last collection of short stories, Tenth of December, the New York Times Sunday Magazine cover story raved “George Saunders Has Written the Best Book You’ll Read This Year.” A MacArthur “genius,” Saunders returns to the JCCSF to discuss his first novel, Lincoln in the Bardo, an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a thrilling supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying. In conversation with Dana Spiotta, author of Innocents and Others and Stone Arabia.

Excellent interview. I appreciate Saunders' humbleness in the face of the masterpiece he's conjured up in Lincoln in the Bardo. Syracuse's MFA creative writing program is stacked!! (Saunders, Karr, Spiotta...)

I'm sad and disappointed they didn't talk about the book more. There's so much to say about Lincoln in the Bardo. It is so sad and so funny. And it actually depicts Lincoln in a way never seen before. It's much too beautiful to interrupt talking about to talk about Donald Trump.
