"Mr. Saunders writes like the illegitimate offspring of Nathaniel West and Kurt Vonnegut, perhaps a distant relative of Mark Leyner and Steven Wright. . . . Mr. Saunders' satiric vision of America is dark, and demented; it is also ferocious and very funny".--"The New York Times".
Review:
"...a bizarre odyssey into the dark reaches of the author's febrile imagination, a world turned upside down and populated by weirdos and inadequates trying to get back on their feet....As with Gary Larson's drawings, George Saunders's humour is laced with a wonderfully offbeat brand of satire that is superb when it hits the target..."
Toby Harnden, Literary Review, 02/1996
Review:"...the debut of an exciting new voice in fiction...Mr. Saunders...writes like the illegitimate offspring of [Nathanael] West and Kurt Vonnegut, perhaps a distant relative of Mark Leyner and Steven Wright. He's a savage satirist with a sentimental streak, who delineates, in these pages, the dark underbelly of the American dream: the losses, delusions, and terrors suffered by the lonely, the disenfranchised, the downtrodden, and the plain unlucky...Mr. Saunders' satiric vision of America is dark and demented; it's also ferocious and very funny."
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 02/02/1996

Book Description: Riverhead Books, 1997. PaperBack. Book Condition: New. This debut collection of seven dystopian fantasies finds America in the near future to be a toxic wasteland overrun by vicious thugs and venal opportunists who prey on the weak and misshapen. The black humor and vision of American enterprise and evangelism gone haywire are reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegutâ??s early works. 179p.
