The recipient of a 2006 MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (“Genius” Award), George Saunders has authored two novels, four collections of short stories, a novella, a book of essays, and an award-winning children’s book. His most recent collection, Liberation Day, is a masterful work that explores ideas of power, ethics, and justice, and cuts to the very heart of what it means to live in community with our fellow humans. He is the author of two novels, his forthcoming book Vigil and the Man Booker Prize-winning Lincoln in the Bardo. Saunders’s collection, Tenth of December, was the winner of the 2014 Story Prize and the 2014 Folio Prize. His work appears regularly in The New Yorker, GQ, and Harpers Magazine, and has appeared in the O’Henry, Best American Short Story, Best Non-Required Reading, and Best American Travel Writing anthologies. Saunders is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine in 2013. He teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Syracuse University.
This event is sponsored by the William H. Erickson Distinguished Lecture Series.
