"The Braindead Megaphone", George Saunders's
first foray into nonfiction, is comprised of
essays on literature, travel, and politics.
At the core of this unique collection are
Saunders's travel essays based on his trips
to seek out the mysteries of the "Buddha Boy"
of Nepal; to attempt to indulge in the
extravagant pleasures of Dubai; and to join
the exploits of the minutemen at the Mexican
border. Saunders expertly navigates the works
of Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, and Esther
Forbes, and leads the reader across the rocky
political landscape of modern America.
Emblazoned with his trademark wit and
singular vision, Saunders's endeavor into the
art of the essay is testament to his
exceptional range and ability as a writer and
thinker.
George Saunders's writing has appeared in The
New Yorker, Harper's, GQ, and The Guardian. A
professor at Syracuse University, he has won
the National Magazine Award for fiction and
an O. Henry Award.
