'An American short-story writer of intimidating talent' Zadie Smith
'Dark, concerned, confused and funny, all at the same time ... Like so much of Saunders' brilliant, crazy writing it's relevant, but not too relevant' The Times

From the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of the 2017 Man Booker Prize winner Lincoln in the Bardo

A breathtaking collection of strange, surreal, and utterly human short stories from the celebrated master of the form.
