The Brain-Dead Megaphone
Author: George Saunders
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1408822520
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
In this, his first collection of essays, Saunders trains his eye on the real world rather than the fictional and reveals it to be brimming with wonderful, marvellous strangeness. As he faces a political and cultural reality saturated with lazy media, false promises and political doublespeak, Saunders invokes the wisdom of American literary heroes Twain, Vonnegut and Barthelme and inspires us to re-examine our assumptions about the world we live in, as we struggle to discover what is really there.
