About this listen
From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of Lincoln in the Bardo, a darkly comic short story about the unintended consequences unleashed by our quest to tame the natural world.
Fox 8 has always been known as the daydreamer in his pack, the one his fellow foxes regarded with a knowing snort and a roll of the eyes. That is, until Fox 8 develops a unique skill: He teaches himself to speak Yuman by hiding in the bushes outside a house and listening to children’s bedtime stories. The power of language fuels his abundant curiosity about people - even after danjer arrives in the form of a new shopping mall that cuts off his food supply, sending Fox 8 on a harrowing quest to help save his pack.
Told with his distinctive blend of humor and pathos, Fox 8 showcases the extraordinary imaginative talents of George Saunders, whom The New York Times called “the writer for our time”.
©2013 George Saunders (P)2013 Random House AudioA terrible depiction of humanity, a sad truth well told.
I would not say that this is a child's tale but maybe a and early adolescent confrontation with an uncomfortable truth, the violence is real and the pain Fox 8 fills is very real.
A bittersweet tale that revives that child in us and shames the adult for forgetting the magic around us.
