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.

作者分析了7个俄国短篇故事的“反常”之处,从而引出对如何写出好故事对理解。作者强调了真诚和尊重读者(从而不满足于一般预期,而是要努力探索其他可能性),以及尊重自己(相信自己独特的偏好,从而努力修改作品使其更符合自己对偏好;不预设特定的风格,而是抱着开放的心态...

非常推荐!帮助我更好地理解读书和写作这一思维交流的重要方式,以及如何更加深刻的阅读一本书; 如果说好的作品犹如一幅世界名画,那么我们从小到大学会的是如何去从手法上剖析一部作品,或者在字里行间之间“阅读理解”,各种揣测作者试图升华的核心思想。但是我非常赞同桑德...

非常好看的短篇小说分析。金针度与人的写法。虽然是从作家视觉出发,立足于写作技巧(而非文学理论)进行文本分析,但是在很多方面都很有启发,比如对于写作者主观意愿与最终成型的客观文本之间的关系的思考。

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

评分

魅力是俄罗斯文学给的,契诃夫太伟大了。The author’s analysis is inspiring as well.

评分

太好看了!虽然是写作指南,但其实很适合当作“普通读者如何读书之手把手教程”。作者解析时的口吻足够平易近人,而且字里行间可以感受到他对这些故事的真心喜欢。P.S. 契诃夫太好了!
