Civilwarland In Bad Decline (George Saunders)
January 22nd, 2006
Second time reading this collection of short stories and am just as impressed. The title story is the jewel of the whole, I think, and is the tale of the second-in-command at a local amusement park/tourist attraction. Which has come under attack by local gangs. Darkly funny without losing any dramatic impact. A modern Southern writer of talent.
