George Saunders was born in Amarillo, Texas, in 1958 and was raised in Chicago. He originally thought he would join a rock band after high school, but two teachers influenced him to attend college. He graduated from Colorado School of Mines, a mineral engineering college, with a degree in Geophysical Engineering in 1981. He worked his first job in Sumatra, Indonesia as a field geophysicist and began writing stories during this time. He returned to the United States after two years, and held various jobs in Los Angeles, including slaughterhouse laborer, roofer, convenience store clerk and bar-band guitarist. He moved back to Texas, and was soon accepted into Syracuse University's Creative Writing Program. He met his wife, Paula, at Syracuse. Three weeks after he met her, he proposed, and they married in May 1987. In 1997, he accepted a teaching position in the Syracuse University creative writing program. He has been teaching there ever since, along with writing several works, including "The Braindead Megaphone," "CivilWarLand in Bad Decline," "In Persuasion Nation," and "The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip."
