Reviews
"Intoxicating." -- Time Out "Exuberantly weird . . . brutally funny" -- The New York Times "Compulsively swallowed, sweetly addictive" -- San Francisco Bay Guardian "Demands to be reread immediately" -- The Wall Street Journal "Hilarious and heartrending" -- The Village Voice "Breathtaking . . . a masterpiece" -- San Diego Union Tribune "Riveting" -- U.S. News and World Report "Screamingly funny" -- Time "Saunders is a provocateur, a moralist, a zealot, a lefty, and a funny, funny writer, and the stories in Pastoralia delight. We're very lucky to have them." -- Esquire "Breathtaking, brutally hilarious satire, a savage skewering not only of the American workplace, but of the American character itself. . . . Pastoralia is a masterpiece of unsettling comedy." -- San Diego Union Tribune "Artful and sophisticated. . . .truly unusual. Imagine Lewis's Babbitt thrown into the back seat of a car going cross-country, driven by R. Crumb, Matt Groening, Lynda Barry, Harvey Pekar or Spike Jonze. That'd be a story Saunders could tell."-- The New York Times "The short-story collection of the year . . . Pastoralia does everything a gathering of tales is supposed to do: It touches the reader but also provokes reflection, mirth, and pain." -- Kansas City Star "Dazzling . . . Saunders's misfits confront their degradations with heroic optimism; rarely have the comic nuances of suffering been tracked with such precision. These stories, injected with Saunders's highly original blend of irony and tenderness, ride you down spirals of the absurd and fling you back to your own life, startled." -- Men's Journal "A master of distilling the disorders of our time into fiction." -- Salon "Fiercely funny . . . [Saunders is] a master of the self-flagellating interior monologue." -- The Boston Globe, "Intoxicating." - Time Out "Exuberantly weird . . . brutally funny" - The New York Times "Compulsively swallowed, sweetly addictive" - San Francisco Bay Guardian "Demands to be reread immediately" - The Wall Street Journal "Hilarious and heartrending" - The Village Voice "Breathtaking . . . a masterpiece" - San Diego Union Tribune "Riveting" - U.S. News and World Report "Screamingly funny" - Time "Saunders is a provocateur, a moralist, a zealot, a lefty, and a funny, funny writer, and the stories in Pastoralia delight.

- u***g (119)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoItem was priced well and a good value, received in a very timely manner and well-packaged. Was in the exact condition described and appearance matched seller's picture(s). Would recommend seller unreservedly and will do business with them in the future. Although customer service was not needed for this sale, I have dealt with Book Outlet numerous times over the years and, when necessary, can say their customer service team is top-notch!
- i***c (891)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThis is a frustrated positive feedback. I am always perplexed when sellers choose to ship via an "off-brand" shipper, e.g., OSM Worldwide. This tends to delay the time it takes to get to me vs more "traditioaal" shipped, e.g., USPS, UPS, or FED-EX. This is a pretty good seller. The price was good, the shipping pretty prompt (though deliver took a bit longer than I expected), and the communication was pretty good as well.The Men We Need: God's Purpose for the Manly Man, the Avid Indoorsman, or Any Ma (N° 365676100036)
- 2***h (1821)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe book was carefully packaged and arrived in perfect condition. (Nothing is more upsetting than to buy a "coffee table" book of photos and have it arrive in a tattered condition due to insufficient packaging.) In this case, it arrived in the condition that was advertised by the seller. Thanks so much!!
