Requests:  0 Summary:  "In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, George Saunders guides the reader through seven classic Russian short stories he's been teaching for twenty years as a professor in the prestigious Syracuse University graduate MFA creative writing program. 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"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 891.708 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 891.708 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 891.708 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 891.708 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 891.708 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 891.708 Saunders Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 891.708 Sa Transit Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 891.708 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 891.708 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 891.708 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
