Fox 8: A Story

Fox 8: A Story

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo, a darkly comic short story about the unintended consequences unleashed by our quest to tame the natural worldâ€”featuring gorgeous black-and-white illustrations by Chelsea Cardinal.

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 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€
