Self blogged this on 25 December 2013 (Christmas Day, self only just realized after writing the date). Title of post: 2013 Top Ten Books of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Saunders won this year’s Man Booker. He’s the Keynote Speaker at the next AWP, in Tampa, FL:
- Tenth of December: Stories, by George Saunders (Random House): Ever read CivilWarLand in Bad Decline? Self thought that book was a game-changer. In one stroke, changed the landscape of the contemporary American short story, which until then had been Raymond Carver/Lydia Davis. She will read anything by George Saunders. Anything.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

It is immense. Gigantic.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
