Olly Clifton of Unity Books Auckland reviews Liberation Day by George Saunders, published by Bloomsbury

Liberation Day is Saunder's fifth short story collection and first book-length piece of fiction since his Man Booker Prize winning novel Lincoln in the Bardo (2017). As usual, the collection is a playful satire of American life, but with an even keener eye for the unique humiliations of post 2020 living.
