George Saunders delves even deeper into the startling, boisterous, and strangely familiar environment of his mind with this new book.
Pastoralia's tales are set in a little warped version of America, where modern aspects have been magnified, distorted, and blended together, revealing the absurdity of modern life and our humanity in a shockingly fresh way. Saunders's stories are eerily real and irrevocably strange, whether he writes about a self-help guru who tells his followers his mission is to find out who's been "crapping in your oatmeal" or a male exotic dancer who is haunted by his maiden aunt from beyond the grave in a gothic morality tale.
