«Grandeur et décadence d'un parc d'attractions» is the short story collection by George Saunders, published by Gallimard in paperback (223 pages, in French).
In these stories, George Saunders depicts a near-future America ruined by ecological and economic disasters, dominated by the market and «every man for himself», and populated by marginal characters and ultraliberal entrepreneurs. Abandoned amusement parks become a metaphor for a decaying society, narrated with black humour, tenderness and cruelty, with echoes of Twain, Swift and Vonnegut.
Published in 2001 in the La Noire collection by Gallimard.
For readers who appreciate social satire and dystopia with black humour and a compassionate view of losers.
