Quote by George Saunders

I'm finding, as I get older, that I'm not much of a believer in redemption. I mean, I believe in redemption in real life - redemption does happen, and it's cool when it does - but I find myself getting leery of my desire for it in stories (especially my own).

This suggests a shift in their belief, possibly due to a more nuanced understanding of the complexity of personal growth and transformation, and a cautious approach to idealizing redemption in fictional contexts.
