@Joshua Marre Count me in on this dogpile. Do you guys each have a favorite Saunders work? I'd have to go with "Lincoln in the Bardo", which is one of the few novels that gave me a sore throat from choking back so many tears.
What is with these "NEW"? White on White text captions. Am i the only one that thinks that white on white is nearly impossible to read? I see them here and on MANY. MANY videos - is this the result of some new software product? Please change the color - white letters on a dark background, or something with a higher degree of contrast.
The strange thing is: for a very imagnitive he tells the EXACT same stories and jokes at every speaking appearance, year after year. Junot Diaz doesn't do that. Neither does Eugenedes. Makes you wonder.....
I have to give it to the audience members for asking such great questions.
good god
I... I love this man

Fantastic talk. He is a man who gives so much enjoyment, and now with this video, so much information about his processes.
I loved his "Civilwarland in Bad Decline" especially that last story about the mutant slave.
Yes! me too. It's called "Bounty".
Ironically that was the only story in that collection i didn't care for too much. The rest I loved.
next level - love this guy
read all his books! funny and strange in the very best way.
We went to see him speak at the library in LA about 2 weeks ago but there were no seats left. Bummer.
