In George Saunders's epistolary short story, "Love Letter," Robbie's grandfather writes him a handwritten letter in response to Robbie's email. He tells Robbie small details from his own life, while also attempting to offer his grandson advice. Unsure whether or not Robbie should get involved with his friend's complicated legal affairs, Robbie's grandfather uses personal anecdotes, references to the Trump pre- and post-election era, and descriptions of his own remorse and guilt in advising Robbie. The short story explores themes including change and regret.
