Fox 8 - George Saunders

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 #34;Yuman #34; by hiding in the bushes outside a house and listening to children #39;s bedtime stories. The power of language fuels his abundant curiosity about people--even after #34;danjer #34; 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 #34;the writer for our time. #34;
