How To Proceed11 Okt 2020

George Saunders

Is literature a political force? Yes, says George Saunders.

In this episode, he talks about Trump, civility and the public discourse of our time. On Kindness and Meanness. On form and revision. Voice, memory and empathy, and of course about the living and the dead.
