Emblazoned with his trademark wit and singular vision, Saunders's endeavor into the art of the essay is testament to his exceptional range and ability as a writer and thinker.īy this time our national discourse had been so degraded - our national language so dumbed-down - that we were sitting ducks. Saunders expertly navigates the works of Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, and Esther Forbes, and leads the reader across the rocky political landscape of modern America. At the core of this unique collection are Saunders's travel essays based on his trips to seek out the mysteries of the "Buddha Boy" of Nepal to attempt to indulge in the extravagant pleasures of Dubai and to join the exploits of the minutemen at the Mexican border.
George Saunders's first foray into nonfiction is composed of essays on literature, travel, and politics.
