It's not about vampires or ghost rather it's about time travel and changing world history. It was a NY Times notable book for 2011.

Maple Street rated a book 5 of 5 stars I Sailed with Magellan by Stuart Dybek	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars

At times historical, science-, post-apocalyptic, faux-pulp, and contemporary realist fiction, this matryoshka of a novel is like nothing else I've ever read. Nietzsche bros will love this book. It takes the will to power as its subject and turns eter...more

Maple Street rated a book 5 of 5 stars Pastoralia by George Saunders	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
A theme park with dioramas of live humans. An actually pretty believablly ridiculous self-help seminar advocating the basest solipsism. A miserably horny barber. Saunders is taking Western culture (& that culture's language) to its logical extens...more
