George Saunders
Those of you who have seen author David Sedaris do readings know that he picks a favorite book to tout, rather passionately, on each tour, even going so far as to ensure it is offered for sale alongside his own work (those of you who have never been to a Sedaris reading, well now you know).
This season's recommended book is The Braindead Megaphone, by George Saunders. For the impossibly up to date who must own this book before Sedaris comes to Boston in October, here's a link where you can buy The Braindead Megaphone. And here's George's web site.
Turns out, Mr. Saunders teaches at Syracuse University, which gives us all another reason to recommend beautiful Syracuse, New York, besides Dinosaur BBQ, The Orangemen, the swell locals, the fine sledding, and SU's now extra-huge record collection.
It's no longer The Orangemen! It's now just "The Syracuse Orange." Yuck.
ReplyDeleteDear Sarah,
Yuck, indeed! I have made an unprecedented (well, maybe not totally unprecedented) slew of errors on this blog of late. Thanks for the correction.
Do you think "The Syracuse Orange Julius" was taken?
