Paired with stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, these essays are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it's more relevant than ever in these turbulent times. Saunders approaches each of these 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. For the process of writing, Saunders reminds us, is as much a craft as it is a quality of openness and a willingness to see the world through new eyes. Funny, frank, and rigorous, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain ultimately shows how great fiction can change a person's life and become a benchmark of one's moral and ethical beliefs"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Gogolʹ, NikolaiÌ Vasilʹevich, $d 1809-1852. $t Nos. 600 10 $a Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, $d 1860-1904. $t Kryzhovnik. 600 10 $a Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, $d 1860-1904. $t Na podvode. 600 10 $a Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, $d 1860-1904. $t Dushechka. 600 10 $a Turgenev, Ivan Sergeevich, $d 1818-1883. $t PevtÍ¡sy. 600 10 $a Tolstoy, Leo, $c graf, $d 1828-1910. $t AleÌsha Gorshok. 600 10 $a Tolstoy, Leo, $c graf, $d 1828-1910. $t KhoziÍ¡ain i rabotnik. 650 0 $a Short stories, Russian $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Short stories, Russian $y 19th century $x Study and teaching. $x Study and teaching. 650 0 $a Reader-response criticism $z United States. 630 07 $a Nos (Gogolʹ, NikolaiÌ Vasilʹevich) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01360449 650 7 $a Reader-response criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01090552 650 7 $a Short stories, Russian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117348 650 7 $a Short stories, Russian $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117350 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Gogolʹ, NikolaiÌ Vasilʹevich, $d 1809-1852. $t Nos. $l English $s (Struve) 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, $d 1860-1904. $t Kryzhovnik. $l English $s (Yarmolinsky) 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, $d 1860-1904. $t Na podvode. $l English $s (Yarmolinsky) 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, $d 1860-1904. $t Dushechka. $l English $s (Yarmolinsky) 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Turgenev, Ivan Sergeevich, $d 1818-1883. $t PevtÍ¡sy. $l English $s (Magarshack) 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Tolstoy, Leo, $c graf, $d 1828-1910. $t AleÌsha Gorshok. $l English $s (Brown) 700 12 $i Container of (expression): $a Tolstoy, Leo, $c graf, $d 1828-1910. $t KhoziÍ¡ain i rabotnik. $l English $s (Maude and Maude) 776 08 $i Online version: $a Saunders, George, 1958- $t A swim in a pond in the rain $d New York : Random House, 2021. $z 9781984856043 $w (DLC) 2020031046 941 $a 43 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20240621010407.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015513.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040015.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021755.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305020827.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207014829.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021711.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111012534.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021757.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014600.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210023803.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063049.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20220806015202.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706020836.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518024807.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220301010857.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223011651.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20220221140409.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20211231025426.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20210929010750.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20210929010611.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064106.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20210714021917.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713014107.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20210629011716.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20210623010316.0 952 $l FWPE284 $d 20210604010807.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20210602010127.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20210602010049.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210430010427.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20210416010045.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210402010905.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20210330011814.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210306015950.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210302014858.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20210226010152.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210225010613.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210211010943.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210206011123.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210203010729.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210202014806.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210113010030.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210109010319.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=54BA4542524811EB9908E9352EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
