George Saunders’ new short story “Fox 8" offers an unexpected twist on the author’s darkly comic sensibility. Narrated by a fox who has learned human language (the Fox 8 of the title), it’s a taut little tale of development and displacement in which the narrator and other members of his skulk are driven away from their habitat by the construction of a new shopping mall.
