具体描述

George Saunders is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of ten books, including Lincoln in the Bardo, which won the Man Booker Prize; Congratulations, by the way; Tenth of December, a finalist for the National Book Award; The Braindead Megaphone; and the critically acclaimed short story collections CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, Pastoralia, and In Persuasion Nation. He teaches in the creative writing program at Syracuse University.

From 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. In 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. The 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.

一本偶然看推送了解到的书(否则无论书看封面,还是听书名,我都不会去想要了解它到底说的啥)。这是我最近获得的一个小惊喜,甚至算得上说中等惊喜。说雪城大学的一个教授以作家的角度去解读7部俄罗斯小说的。从作家的角度去分析,作者为何要这样去写,我们能“偷”到什么,从...

##跟着作者一行行一段段地读七篇俄罗斯小说,这个过程虽然由于不停地发问探索感到很累,但是好满足。有些东西没有人指路自己是完全不会想到的,即使其中掺杂了作者的一些主观,也有很大的启发甚至是...感动。啊,浩瀚星河啊,浩瀚星河。

##与其说是学会了什么非常实用的写作技巧,不如说是再一次亲身确认了契诃夫无可挑剔的技术与对人性复杂多样的尊重

##很受益!以后一定认真revise…我真的会越来越喜欢契,Gooseberries那篇忍不住回忆了一下万尼亚舅舅20年的剧场set
