Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil
Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil | George Saunders
1 post | 9 read | 2 to read
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. In a profoundly strange country called Inner Horner, large enough for only one resident at a time, citizens waiting to enter the country fall under the rule of the power-hungry and tyrannical Phil, setting off a chain of injustice and mass hysteria.An Animal Farm for the 21st century, this is an incendiary political satire of unprecedented imagination, spiky humor, and cautionary appreciation for the hysteric in everyone. Over six years in the writing, and brilliantly and beautifully packaged, this novella is Saunders' first stand-alone, book-length work--and his first book for adults in five years.

I got my Boxing Day Book Outlet haul today! I did a happy dance when I found it was here after work. I‘m looking forward to these! Starless I‘ve read and loved, this is a gift copy. But the rest are new to me.

See any favorites here?

Julsmarshall Love Bluebird Bluebird and Trail of Lightning! 5y
Soubhiville @Julsmarshall Trail of Lightning is for book club in Feb. I can‘t wait to dig into it 😁 5y
DogMomIrene Redshirts was pretty funny. I listened to it because I think Wil Wheaton read that one, which enhanced the funny. But if you enjoy Star Trek, Redshirts will be a good read. 5y

Hooked_on_books I really liked Bluebird, Bluebird and To the Bright Edge of the World. I have the Swyler but haven‘t read it yet. Maybe we could do a buddy read of that one! 5y
vivastory Bluebird, Bluebird is great. You really can't go wrong with Saunders. That Scalzi is a lot of fun. 5y
