U’s captive/volunteer performers act out Custer’s Last Stand. U and his friends? Why? And to find that they volunteered to be stuck to the wall!

The nine stories in this latest collection are all different, though readers of Saunders’s previous books will recognize the juxtapositions of pathos and strangeness, humor and inventiveness, violence and empathy.
