In un futuro prossimo in cui il consumismo e l'aziendalismo regnano incontrastati, i personaggi sono ingabbiati in esistenze assurde e umilianti: chi deve interpretare il cavernicolo in un parco a tema, scuoiando capre di giorno e facendo rapporto via fax al capo ogni sera; chi fa lo spogliarellista in uno strip club dove le clienti compilano severissime «Classifiche dei Carini»; chi cerca l'autostima in improbabili incontri motivazionali o l'amore nell'aula di un corso di recupero per automobilisti indisciplinati.Nella sua seconda raccolta di racconti, che l’ha consacrato come l’erede di Mark Twain e Kurt Vonnegut nel filone più comico e immaginifico della letteratura americana, George Saunders descrive un mondo grottesco e tragicomico, rivelandosi però un maestro nel cogliere i piccoli gesti di umanità e gentilezza capaci di far rinascere la speranza.
