    A Conversation with George Saunders

    Jamie Berger

    An hour long (yes, we know, it's called 15 Minutes) conversation with author George Saunders about everything from celebrity to humility to audiobooks to beans. (http://15minutesjamieberger.com) George Saunders is as famous as contemporary literary fiction (let alone short-story) writers get, to the extent of being named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2013.

    His first novel, “Lincoln in the Bardo,” comes out February 14th, 2017 and is receiving glowing reviews. The audio version of the novel is read by an unarguably star-studded cast of 166, including Susan Sarandon, Jeff Tweedy, David Sedaris, Ben Stiller, Lena Dunham, Keegan Michael-Key, Julianne Moore, and Saunders’ parents.
