Consider Tenth of December by George Saunders. Recommended by 7 sources.
“Reading this collection feels like sitting close to a writer who shifts between sardonic comedy and blunt tenderness. Saunders fills spare pages with oddball, vividly sketched characters, attentive sentence-level inventiveness, and recurring moral jolts; the useful part is how language keeps nudging you toward empathy and surprise. Main limitation: the exuberant, digressive voice and insistently emotional payoff can feel repetitive or overwrought if you prefer leaner plots or more restraint, and several stories favor mood over tidy narrative closure.”
