They read one of Saunders' stories (My Famboyant Grandson) on the New Yorker podcast and it was the best story I'd heard on there. I picked up the collection it is in (In Persuasion Nation). His stories could be classified as science fiction, I guess. But they are more literary stories that take place in a world that is darkly, preposterously exaggerated.
Two of the best books I've read in the past couple of years were his Tenth of December and Lincoln in the Bardo (which made my top-ten list last year).
