<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An utterly different kind of novel from the beloved author of "Pastoralia" and "CivilWarLand in Bad Decline."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Man Booker Prize-winning novel <i>Lincoln in the Bardo</i> and the story collection <i>Tenth of December</i>, a 2013 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.</b> <p/> In a profoundly strange country called Inner Horner, large enough for only one resident at a time, citizens waiting to enter the country fall under the rule of the power-hungry and tyrannical Phil, setting off a chain of injustice and mass hysteria.<p>An <i>Animal Farm</i> for the 21st century, this is an incendiary political satire of unprecedented imagination, spiky humor, and cautionary appreciation for the hysteric in everyone. Over six years in the writing, and brilliantly and beautifully packaged, this novella is Saunders' first stand-alone, book-length work--and his first book for adults in five years. <p/> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for George Saunders: <p/>An astoundingly tuned voice--graceful, dark, authentic, and funny--telling just the kinds of stories we need to get us through these times.--Thomas Pynchon <p/>Mr. Saunders writes like the illegitimate offspring of Nathanael West and Kurt Vonnegut. His satiric vision of America is dark and demented; it is also ferocious and very funny.--Michiko Kakutani, <i>The New York Times</i> <p/>A master of distilling the disorders of our time into fiction.--Salon.com<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>George Saunders</b> is the Man Booker Prize-winning author of <i>Lincoln in the Bardo;</i> <i>Tenth of December</i>; <i>In Persuasion Nation</i>; <i>The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil</i>; <i>Pastoralia</i>; <i>CivilWarLand in Bad Decline</i>; <i>The Braindead Megaphone</i>; and a children's book, <i>The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip</i>.
