ReviewsPraise for George Saunders "No one writes more powerfully than George Saunders about the lost, the unlucky, the disenfranchised." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "A true original--restlessly inventive, yet deeply humane." --Jennifer Egan "There is no one more essential to our national sense of self and sanity." --Dave Eggers "Not since Twain has America produced a satirist this funny." --Zadie Smith "Few people cut as hard or deep as Saunders does." --Junot Díaz "The best short-story writer in English." --Mary Karr "Saunders makes you feel as though you are reading fiction for the first time." --Khaled Hosseini

SynopsisFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo, a darkly comic short story about the unintended consequences unleashed by our quest to tame the natural world--featuring gorgeous black-and-white illustrations by Chelsea Cardinal. Fox 8 has always been known as the daydreamer in his pack, the one his fellow foxes regard with a knowing snort and a roll of the eyes. That is, until he develops a unique skill: He teaches himself to speak "Yuman" by hiding in the bushes outside a house and listening to children's bedtime stories. The power of language fuels his abundant curiosity about people--even after "danjer" arrives in the form of a new shopping mall that cuts off his food supply, sending Fox 8 on a harrowing quest to help save his pack. Told with his distinctive blend of humor and pathos, Fox 8 showcases the extraordinary imaginative talents of George Saunders, whom The New York Times called "the writer for our time."
