"
The Tenth of December has already achieved critical acclaim and a spot
on the best seller list, which is great news for a collection of short
stories. One of my associates has already written about what a fine
story 'Escape from Spiderhead' is and I wholeheartedly agree with that
assessment. So if you read only one short story this year, let it be
'Escape from Spiderhead.' But having read that one, you will no doubt
want to read the first story of the collection, 'Victory Lap' and a
later story called 'The Semplica Girl Diaries.' You will be somewhat
hooked by then, so don't forget the titular 'Tenth of December' and
'Exhortation.' Oh what the heck, just read them all. What a great
collection of stories. This was my first George Saunders book but
definitely not the last.
