'Saunders is funny and kind as ever, and his narrative virtuosity puts him up there with the best' Anne Enright, Guardian
'A triumph of storytelling' i paper
'A joy. 'Effortlessly stylish, funny and smart' Daily Mail

From the pre-eminent writer of political dystopia and master of the modern short story, Liberation Day takes on ideas of power, ethics and justice, cutting to the very heart of what it means to live in community with our fellow humans.

In a Hell-themed section of an underground amusement park, a man is confronted with everything he has taken for granted about his reality. In coded emails, a grandfather advises his grandson on how to survive an autocratic regime. A political protestor for hire struggles to remember who he used to be.

These nine wickedly funny stories encompass joy and despair, oppression and revolution, bizarre fantasy and brutal reality.

'The only way to experience Saunders's oblique, farcical, tragic world is to dive right in. It will take the top of your head off, but it's worth it' The Times
'The world's best short story writer . Liberation Day is great art' Daily Telegraph
