Fox 8: A Story
Known as a daydreamer, Fox 8 was overlooked by his fellow foxes until he learned to speak 'Yuman' by hiding in the shadows and listening to humans tell their children bedtime stories, but the power of understanding this language enflames his curiosity and ultimately sets him on a harrowing quest to save his pack when a new danger cuts off their food supply . . .
Told with his distinctive blend of humor and pathos, Fox 8 is a darkly comic fable about the unintended consequences of man's quest to tame the natural world that showcases the extraordinary imaginative talents of George Saunders.
"No one writes more powerfully than George Saunders about the lost, the unlucky, and the disenfranchised." -- The New York Times
