Pastoralia reúne una nouvelle y cinco cuentos que trastocan la brújula del lector. Tremendamente mordaz y divertida, la prosa singular de George Saunders es capaz, también, de conmovernos hasta el borde de la lágrima. Por los temas que aborda, podría parecer que se trata de un libro escrito hoy: la decadencia de la empresa que conduce al absurdo; la precariedad laboral y afectiva; el tedio de los sueños que pasan por ganar en la lotería y el desamparo de la clase mediana depauperada. Saunders retrata con humor corrosivo lo pero que llevamos dentro y nos redime. Leerlo es invertir en calidad de vida.
