The stories in Tenth of December aren't quite as satirical, but their approach is far from what you see in most collections today. He explores ideas of class, race, sex, relationships, love, in a way I've never seen, and many of his previous novels and story collections have tended toward the satirical. Saunders is probably one of the most creative literary minds currently writing. And if you're more a fan of the latter, while all of Saunders' stories might not quite resonate for you, there are still some brilliantly written stories worth reading. If you're a fan of the former, George Saunders' new collection, Tenth of December, is definitely one you should explore. Do you like experimental stories, in which the author doesn't necessarily adhere to traditional narrative structure, explores ideas and concepts you may never have imagined, sometimes imagining a not-too-distant time where things will be vastly different than you're used to? Or do you prefer your short stories to be more traditional in terms of narrative, characterization, dialogue, and concept?
