"If George Saunders's hyperkinetic dark-fantasist-satirist prose...is an acquired taste, it's a taste quickly acquired. This master of low-mimetic lunacy can make you laugh aloud even as you wince at his deadpan excess and the manic, compulsive syntax....Like the entrepreneurial zealots whom he satirizes, Saunders exploits his material with slight variants, improvising upon a formula of stream-of-consciousness black humor that sometimes, but not often, spills over into sheer comic-book silliness but occasionally...engages us unexpectedly."Saunders, George is the author of 'Pastoralia Stories', published 2001 under ISBN 9781573228725 and ISBN 1573228729.
