✦ Synopsis
Saunders is an astoundingly tuned voice - graceful, dark, authentic and funny - telling just the kind of stories we need to get us through these times' Thomas PynchonIn PASTORALIA elements of contemporary life are twisted, merged and amplified into a slightly skewed version of modern America. A couple live and work in a caveman theme-park, where speaking is an instantly punishable offence. A born loser attends a self-help seminar where he is encouraged to rid himself of all the people who are 'crapping in your oatmeal'.

A «Pastoràlia» tot allò que passa en la vida real està capgirat i exagerat per oferir-nos una asimètrica versió de la societat moderna nord-americana. Aquests relats de George Saunders estan ambientats en escenaris molt peculiars com ara un parc temàtic d’on els treballadors no poden sortir ni opina
