Tenth of December | George Saunders | Talks at Google

[@UncannyValleyVideos]

I have to give it to the audience members for asking such great questions.

[@tcp2317]

good god I... I love this man

[@UncannyValleyVideos]

@Joshua Marre Count me in on this dogpile. Do you guys each have a favorite Saunders work? I'd have to go with "Lincoln in the Bardo", which is one of the few novels that gave me a sore throat from choking back so many tears.

[@FLOCKOIBROS]

Fantastic talk. He is a man who gives so much enjoyment, and now with this video, so much information about his processes.

[@rednemesis88]

I loved his "Civilwarland in Bad Decline" especially that last story about the mutant slave.

[@AChee-nj2zu]

Yes! me too. It's called "Bounty".

[@Peter32tjrksor]

Ironically that was the only story in that collection i didn't care for too much. The rest I loved.

[@manicbunny8287]

next level - love this guy

[@videorexify]

read all his books! funny and strange in the very best way.

[@gordontarpley]

We went to see him speak at the library in LA about 2 weeks ago but there were no seats left. Bummer.

[@STOG01]

One of the best writer talks I've heard)

[@dominiczerafa8990]

George Carlin! I think if GC was a short story author he would be GS

[@imc440]

Can't I just like the clip? Why the middle man?

[@LynarMatal]

Mood

[@austinmistretta8373]

16:50 Lincoln in the Bardo is born

[@ubermensch826]

0:41 why is junot diaz in the front row

[@Peter32tjrksor]

you wrong for that one

[@josephvotta6698]

What is with these "NEW"? White on White text captions. Am i the only one that thinks that white on white is nearly impossible to read? I see them here and on MANY. MANY videos - is this the result of some new software product? Please change the color - white letters on a dark background, or something with a higher degree of contrast.

[@maultx]

i like talks off google

[@Luke.hello.]

cool!

[@liper13]

The strange thing is: for a very imagnitive he tells the EXACT same stories and jokes at every speaking appearance, year after year. Junot Diaz doesn't do that. Neither does Eugenedes. Makes you wonder.....
