Overview

In The Suffering of Lesser Mammals, Greg Sanders draws the reader into a world of believable absurdity, as individual crises meld with those of the age. In these thirteen stories, a young father's anxiety throws the Earth out of orbit; a bachelor breaks up with his car; a ""multivariate correlator"" conjures a lonely deity; and two sisters are abducted by a cadre of immortal alewives. Wildly inventive, morally wise, and achingly funny, this is the short story as reimagined by a fearless-and fearsome-voice.

Reviews

Greg Sanders is a beguiling, far-ranging fabulist, whose wily, hyper-smart inventions take us from Big Sur to Brooklyn, from Kafka's Prague to a remote exoplanet-and to cyberspace, whose cold zones measure human value in 'clickthrough rates, ' and whose dark corners register ""a world in magnificent turmoil and unrepentant decline."" -David Gates, Pulitzer finalist, author of A Hand Reached Down to Guide Me Greg Sanders is a startling fiction writer with a quirky-snarky & deeply affecting prose manner that's original and all his own. I highly recommend you jump on his new collection of stories, The Suffering of Lesser Mammals. Of which we are some. -Frederick Barthelme, author of the story collection Moon Deluxe, the novel There Must Be Some Mistake, and fourteen other books in between
