Stories That Singe

Our world is stranger than fiction but not George Saunders's fiction. In Liberation Day, his first collection of short stories in nearly a decade, the Booker Prize winning author of 11 previous books tees up nine genrebending tales of hell-themed amusement parks and brainwashed protesters for hire. In a world getting weirder every day, these stories are the medicine we need. Saunders sat down with Esquire to take us inside his creative process.

That they also happen to tell us the time without reminding us of all our unread emails is really a bonus.
