In a statement announcing the award, the chair of the Folio Prize judges, Lavinia Greenlaw, said, “Saunders’s stories are both artful and profound. Darkly playful, they take us to the edge of some of the most difficult questions of our time and force us to consider what lies behind and beyond them. Unflinching, delightful, adventurous, compassionate, he is a true original whose work is absolutely of the moment.”
