An interview with George Saunders

George Saunders is a favorite creator of short fiction. His use of voice is unforgettably idiosyncratic.

His Web site

MV: While your short stories always have interesting plots--an aunt returning from the dead, guy working as cave man in theme park, etc.--it's the voices of these stories (for me, at least) that make them so memorable. In fact, when I remember your stories, I remember the voices: the rhythms, the repetition, the idiosyncratic logic, the corporate-babble, the exuberance, the wisecracks. Can you talk a bit about the importance of voice in your fiction, and how you come to discover the voices of your characters?
