There’s a careful balance between dystopian despair for our advertising-obsessed society (a hobbyhorse of Saunders’ to be sure) and cautious moments of unexpected triumph, or if not triumph, at least partial redemption, that creates a lovely tapestry of sad but fulfilling stories concerning real, and real weird, characters in this compilation of short stories.
If someone trained an AI on all the most popular frivolous tarantino-esque action comedy movies from the last decade it wouldn’t come close to this perfect representation of the form.
