How necessary, at our particular moment' Tessa Hadley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the New York Times-bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Tenth of December comes a literary master class on what makes great stories work and what they can tell us about ourselves - and our world today. For the last twenty years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it's more relevant than ever in these turbulent times. In his introduction, Saunders writes, 'We're going to enter seven fastidiously constructed scale models of the world, made for a specific purpose that our time maybe doesn't fully endorse but that these writers accepted implicitly as the aim of art-namely, to ask the big questions, questions like, How are we supposed to be living down here? What were we put here to accomplish? What should we value? What is truth, anyway, and how might we recognize it?' He approaches the stories technically yet accessibly, and through them explains how narrative functions; why we stay immersed in a story and why we resist it; and the bedrock virtues a writer must foster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe process of writing, Saunders reminds us, is a technical craft, but also a way of training oneself to see the world with new openness and curiosity. A Swim in a Pond in the Rain is a deep exploration not just of how great writing works but of how the mind itself works while reading, and of how the reading and writing of stories make genuine connection possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Saunders%2BGeorge%2BA%2BSwim%2Bin%2Ba%2BPond%2Bin%2Bthe%2BRain'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Saunders+George\"\u003eSaunders, George\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:A+Swim+in+a+Pond+in+the+Rain\"\u003eA Swim in a Pond in the Rain\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Bloomsbury+Publishing+Ltd.\"\u003eBloomsbury Publishing Ltd.\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Utl%C3%A4ndska+ber%C3%A4ttare\"\u003eUtländska berättare\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 152297231\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003eLäst denna bok och vill hjälpa oss att förstå..? \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/antikvariat.hstrom.se\/enkat\/152297231\u0026amp;entry.1763550384=Saunders,%20George\u0026amp;entry.1968095487=A%20Swim%20in%20a%20Pond%20in%20the%20Rain\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDelta i vår enkät om denna bok, klicka...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok","offer_id":44456305918219,"sku":"152297231","price":168.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/152297231.jpg?v=1691682387","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/152297231","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
