A review by earlyandalone
The Braindead Megaphone by George Saunders

5.0

The best thing about Saunders' nonfiction is the way you feel like he's talking to you, telling you a funny or sad or silly story about that time he went to Nepal, or the time he stalked the Mexican border with a bunch of right-wing vigilantes, or the time he was given a book by a nun that changed his worldview. His thoughts on literature and writing are illuminating and illustrative. I know I gush about Saunders far too much, but he just has a way of depicting our world and the people who live in it that makes us believe in our own humanity.
