I loved this latest collection from the Booker Prize-winning master of the short story form. With his trademark sharp, smart prose, Saunders effortlessly explores what it means to be human, in all its contradictory complexity.

These nine stories are deeply resonant; they are joyful, warm, and challenging. As a collection, it is subversive and profound, and one of my top reads this year. This is Saunders’ first short story collection in more than ten years, and it was worth the wait! – Brock
