Ezra Klein💬 Mentioned
…discussing George Saunders' new novel and shift away from kindness focus
“And I've always thought of Saunders a little bit in that mode, the kindness guy. But reading his new novel, Vigil, which is about an oil tycoon on his deathbed being visited by angels and people from his past trying to get him to reassess his own life, I began to realize that Saunders is more interested in something else now.”
