Title: Unreadable
Product review: It is very rare that I start a book and then find the author's use of language so bizarre that I literally cannot finish the work. This book is indeed surreal. Saunders sets his stories (as far as I can tell) at some unspecified time in the future when the world is on the ropes and technology isn't helping human beings communicate. Saunders adds to this disconcerting effect by stringing together words and sentences that I found utterly confusing. For a lot of the time I did not understand what either he or his characters were trying to say. The words lifted off the page and then started fighting each other before they reached my eyes. Perhaps my mind was in neutral the day I tackled this collection. I have another one of his books on the shelf and will try to make my way through that.
