Résumé : From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo! a darkly comic short story about the unintended consequences unleashed by our quest to tame the natural world—featuring gorgeous black-and-white illustrations by Chelsea Cardinal. Fox 8 has always been known as the daydreamer in his pack! the one his fellow foxes regard with a knowing snort and a roll of the eyes. That is! until he develops a unique skill: He teaches himself to speak “Yuman” by hiding in the bushes outside a house and listening to children’s bedtime stories. The power of language fuels his abundant curiosity about people—even after “danjer” arrives in the form of a new shopping mall that cuts off his food supply! sending Fox 8 on a harrowing quest to help save his pack. Told with his distinctive blend of humor and pathos! Fox 8 showcases the extraordinary imaginative talents of George Saunders! whom The New York Times called “the writer for our time.”
