George Saunders, bestselling author and one of Time’s most influential people in the world, returns to Chicago Humanities to discuss his new novel, Vigil, an imaginative tour de force exploring the gravest issues of our time. From corporate greed and the toll of capitalism to the environmental perils of progress, Saunders takes us on a journey encompassing life and death, good and evil, and the ultimate question of absolution.
