![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Doubtless George Saunders’s A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: In Which Four Russians Give a Master Class on Writing, Reading, and Life has been reviewed to a frazzle by now, but I also believe many of Black Fox’s readers have not read this hugely informative book. It is worth reviewing for those readers because it is a window into the creative theories of one of our masters of the short story form, Saunders himself (considered by many the best short story writer in English today), and because the masterful Russian writers analyzed in this book, particularly Chekhov and Tolstoy, are such fertile ground for inspiration. ![]()
