George Saunders' Outlandish Imagination

Published October 9, 2013 at 5:00 AM PDT

George Saunders writes short stories that combine dark humor and deep compassion. His imaginative style has drawn comparisons to Kurt Vonnegut, and Saunders has become a critical darling, earning everything from a Guggenheim Fellowship to a MacArthur Genius Grant. He'll be coming to Las Vegas on Tuesday, Oct. 15 to participate in a panel of writers.
