Tenth of December by George Saunders is the first collection of short stories we’re adding to our library — and we couldn’t have wished for a better title. The rave reviews? All true.

Not just about the craftsmanship of his short stories—that’s only one layer, but he’s everything you want in an author: witty, surprising, mind-bending, and deeply compassionate—not only toward individual lives but also the society we all share.
