Reception
Kirkus Reviews described it as: "A tour de force collection that showcases all of Saunders' many skills."[7] Colin Barrett, writing for The New York Times, described the collection as "a spiky, at times difficult collection, seldom providing the reader with much in the way of catharsis."[8]
Former US President Barack Obama listed it as one of his favorite books of 2022.[9]
Liberation Day: Stories was a finalist for the 2022 Ray Bradbury Prize.[10][11]
