We try, we fail, we posture, we aspire, we pontificate - and then we age, shrink, die, and vanish

George Saunders, the acclaimed American author known for his satirical and darkly humorous short stories, often explores themes of human nature, morality, and the passage of time in his work. The quote “We try, we fail, we posture, we aspire, we pontificate - and then we age, shrink, die, and vanish” encapsulates the essence of Saunders’ writing, as he delves into the complexities of the human experience and the inevitability of mortality.
