​Within the space of just 10 minutes, Jennifer Saunders has shared three anecdotes, and rather than the stuff of the anecdotes themselves, it’s their balance – of glamour, glee and Britishness – that paints a distinct portrait of someone quite happy to dip into stardom and showbiz just so long as they’re home in time for tea. The first is about the night Roseanne Barr took Saunders and Joanna Lumley to meet an ageing Richard Pryor in a Los Angeles comedy club. The second is about the time Goldie Hawn flew her to New York…

Stories such as Liberation Day, Love Letter and Ghoul seem to represent aspects of the current political climate. Was that something you wished to work through in your writing?Honestly, not really, or not consciously, anyway. My approach is to try to lose control of a story and then see what it wants to tell me. It doesn’t surprise me that politics leached into the stories – it’s very much on my mind these days – but I’ve found that my stories get more interesting if I don’t know, overtly, what it is I’m trying to…

Some part of his writing day, however, is spent…

Writers to admire queue up on the back cover of George Saunders’s new book in an earnest arms race of praise. “He will be read long after these times have passed,” Zadie Smith says. “George Saunders makes you feel as though you are reading fiction for the first time,” Khaled Hosseini suggests. “He makes the all-but-impossible look effortless,” Jonathan Franzen insists. “We’re lucky to have him.”It is hard to imagine Saunders himself not cracking up at all that solemn hyperbole. Do the nine, often wonderfully absurd, short…

In the US, we are feeling the sickening after-effects of an attempted insurrection committed by people, many of whom, before that day, had never acted against their country or shown the least sign of being violent. What’s happening over here? Good question. And the truth is, nobody knows.But here’s one way of looking at it: these people were told a false story and acted on it, with a level of passion and violence that would suggest true belief.That false story – a set of false stories, really, bundled together – came to…
