# 10 The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil

This month, Librarians Billette, Pete and Steve are talking about the 2005 Novella "The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil" by George Saunders. Written on a dare, this eccentric piece of satire weaves together a fable with a cast of absurd alien-like creatures and still manages to tell a very 'human' story. Steve plays the judge this episode to Billette and Pete's cover predictions.
