You can actually read the full text of George Saunders’ 2013 Syracuse graduation speech here, but this is a lovely hardback edition that would make a wonderful gift for your family and friends who are graduating this spring. I can think of no better advice to graduates than what Saunders offers here: to prefer kindness to self-focused ambition.
George Saunders is also author of TENTH OF DECEMBER, a collection of stories that was selected as one of our Best Books of 2013! [ Read our review ]
