George Saunders to read at BMC
MacArthur “genius” fellow and frequent New Yorker contributor George Saunders will read from his work at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9, in Ely Room at the Wyndham Alumnae House as part of the Creative Writing Program Reading Series.
In addition to The New Yorker, Saunders’ work regularly appears in Harper’s , McSweeney’s, and GQ.
His short story collection, In Persuasion Nation, was a finalist for the 2007 The Story Prize. His other books and collections include CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, Pastoralia, and The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip.
His latest book, 2007’s The Braindead Megaphone, was called “a Mark Twain-syle shot in the arm for Americans, an antidote to the dumbing-down virus plaguing our country,” by Vanity Fair.
