(4.5 stars)This being the first George Saunders collection I've read, while I've been aware he has received great critical praise, I had no idea he was so funny. CivilWarLand in Bad Decline is his first published volume, containing six short stories and a novella. In many, a key setting is a rather dystopian and dysfunctional historical theme park--though it's unclear from story to story whether it's the same historical theme park. Each is something of an exploration of class, in that those who enjoy the park's amusements are rich, while those running it behind-the-scenes definitely are not. Saunders says in an afterward that the question that has motivated his writing is, "Why is the world so harsh to those who are losing?"Within the collection, the two outliers are "Isabelle," a short story that is very different stylistically from the others--both in that it is neither funny/satirical, and it takes place in a recognizable "real world"--and "Bounty," which follows the style of the other stories, but is a novella. And these two outliers set the two ends of the spectrum for me of the entry I liked best and the one I liked least. "Isabelle," I felt, was a little masterpiece, a spare but touching story. "Bounty," on the other hand, took the whimsical approach of the other stories, but as a novella went on just too long. I understand Saunders will next be publishing a novel. I will look forward to seeing how he handles that long form.As I will look forward to reading other Saunders stories. I'll recommend him to those who still have not heard of him. The praise he has gained is well-deserved.
