In the isolated village of Frip, the inhabitants must contend with the Gappers, persistent, goat-like creatures that attach themselves to houses and drain the residents' goats of milk. Through this whimsical yet biting fable, George Saunders explores the complexities of human nature, communal responsibility, and the often-absurd ways in which societies manage envy and misfortune.
