For the first time in nearly 10 years, George Saunders delivers another short-story collection—and it’s stunningly imaginative and darkly funny. 'Liberation Day' features stories that probe themes such as poverty, power, revenge, love, and exploitation
Liberation Day
features nine stories that probe themes such as poverty, power, revenge, love, and exploitation. The title story, which is the collection’s longest, stars characters in a dystopian world whose memories have mysteriously been removed; another transports readers to the Hell-themed section of an underground amusement park.
