Episode 4-The Tenth Of December by George Saunders

from Reads and Weeds · host Reads and Weeds

Shelly, Kris, and Marty discuss George Saunders' short story Tenth of December. Saunders was influenced by Raymond Carver, who wrote the last story we read. The narrative follows a young boy playing outside and an elderly dying man and how their paths cross. Saunders style of intentionally confusing the reader pulls us in. It is brilliant. I didn't see any of it coming.
