Fox 8: A Story (Kindle Single)

Fox 8: A Story (Kindle Single)

From the author of the instant New York Times bestseller Tenth of December comes a darkly comic short story, a fable about the all too real impact that we humans have on the environmentâ€”now available for the first time as an eBook.
Â
Fox 8 has always been known as the daydreamer in his pack, the one his fellow foxes regarded with a knowing snort and a roll of the eyes. That is, until Fox 8 develops a unique skill: He teaches himself to speak â€œYumanâ€ by hiding in the bushes outside a house and listening to childrenâ€™s bedtime stories. The power of language fuels his abundant curiosity about peopleâ€”even after â€œdanjerâ€ 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 â€œthe writer for our time.â€
