An interview with George Saunders at Portland’s McDaniel High School

George Saunders’ biting, imaginative short stories and novels have made him one of America’s most celebrated authors. His 2017 novel “Lincoln in the Bardo,” which won the Man Booker Prize, follows Abraham Lincoln as he grapples with a host of spirits following his son’s death. In his most recent novel, “Vigil,” Saunders returns to the afterlife to explore corporate greed, climate change and the nature of salvation. 

Saunders joins us to talk about life, death and everything in between in front of a live audience of students at Portland’s McDaniel High School.
