From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Tenth of
December," a 2013 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.
The breakout book from "the funniest writer in America"--not to
mention an official "Genius"--his first nonfiction collection ever.
George Saunders's first foray into nonfiction is comprised of
essays on literature, travel, and politics. 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. 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. 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.
