Riverhead Trade claimed ´This book is a rare event: a brilliant new satirist bursting out of the gate in full stride, wildly funny, pure, generous—all that a great humorist should be.´ —Garrison Keillor ´An astoundingly tuned voice—graceful, dark, authentic, and funny—telling just the kinds of stories we need to get us through these times.´ —Thomas Pynchon ´Scary, hilarious, and unforgettable . . . George Saunders is a writer of arresting brilliance and originality.´ —Tobias Wolff ´A cool satirist and a wicked stylist. The quirkiest and most accomplished short-story debut since Barry Hannah´s Airships.´ —Jay McInerney, The New York Times Book Review ´Ingenious . . . full of savage humor and originality [and] scorching brilliance . . . the author creates a nightmarish post-apocalyptic world that might have been envisioned by Walt Disney on acid.´ —The Philadelphia Inquirer ´The debut of an exciting new voice in fiction. Mr. Saunders writes like the illegitimate offspring of [Nathaniel] West and Kurt Vonnegut, perhaps a distant relative of Mark Leyner and Steven Wright. He´s a savage satirist with a sentimental streak who delineates, in these pages, the dark underbelly of the American dream: the losses, delusions, and terrors suffered by the lonely, the disenfranchised, the downtrodden and the plain unlucky. . . . Bizarre events pop up regularly in CivilWarLand like road signs on a highway, directing the reader toward the dark heart of Mr. Saunders´s America. What powers the stories along is Mr. Saunders´s wonderfully demented language, his ear for absurdity and slang, his own patented blend of psychobabble, techno-talk and existential angst. Mr. Saunders´s satiric vision of America is dark and demented; it is also ferocious and very funny.´ —The New York Times
