Saturday, 4/20: Host Tim Carpenter talks with author George Saunders
George Saunders is considered one of the great living masters of the short story. The cover of the New York Times Magazine recently proclaimed that “George Saunders has Written The Best Book You’ll Read This Year.” Saunders is a MacArthur Genius Grant Fellow and author of the acclaimed collections of short fiction “Pastoralia,” “In Persuasion Nation,” and “CivilWarLand in Bad Decline,” as well as the novella, “The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil” [all available online here]. Tim Carpenter talks to George Saunders about his new book, “Tenth of December,” and what it’s like to be called the rightful heir to Vonnegut and Twain.
