Talking candy bars, baby geniuses, disappointed mothers, castrated dogs, interned teenagers, and moral fables-all in this hilarious and heartbreaking collection. The best work yet from an author hailed as the heir to Kurt Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon.

The third of Saunders' short story collections. With each new release, his critical social parody refracts even more; many of these stories dip into the seriously absurd. Still, a lot of power here too.
