In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, Saunders has distilled decades of coursework into a lively and profound master class, exploring the mechanics of fiction through seven memorable stories by Chekhov, Tolstoy, Turgenev, and Gogol.
Saunders-the Booker Prize-winning author of numerous works of fiction, including Lincoln in the Bardo and Tenth of December-has spent over two decades teaching creative writing in Syracuse University’s MFA program, where his most beloved class explores the 19th-century Russian short story in translation. It's perhaps the truest distillation of Saunders' visionary life and work, encapsulating the characteristic generosity and humanity of his artistic outlook. "The part of the mind that reads a story is also the part that reads the world," George Saunders writes in A Swim in a Pond in the Rain.
