At the core of this unique collection are Saunders's travel essays based on his trips to seek out the mysteries of the "Buddha Boy" of Nepal to attempt to indulge in the extravagant pleasures of Dubai and to join the exploits of the minutemen at the Mexican border. George Saunders's first foray into nonfiction is comprised of essays on literature, travel, and politics. The breakout book from "the funniest writer in America"-not to mention an official "Genius"-his first nonfiction collection ever. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Man Booker Prize-winning novel Lincoln in the Bardo and the story collection Tenth of December, a 2013 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.
