Pastoralia (Riverhead)
In George Saunder's dystopian theme parks, the American Dream festers and thrives fertilized by self-help movements and Big Brother type cults. We discuss his bleak vision, especially its oddest, but most salient, component: compassion.
Guests:
- George Saunders: Short-story writer and journalist
