Currently Reading: 'A Swim In A Pond In The Rain' by George Saunders
September 10 2023
This book contains 7 short stories by 4 Russian authors, and detailed analyses of each of them. I just finished the 1st of the 7: 'In the Cart' by Anton Chekhov, and enjoyed the dissection of it that Saunders has done.
I haven't read a book like this before, as far as I can recall. I'm not being cute, this is literally my first time reading a book which takes apart other short stories. I feel that it will end up as something much more than just the sum of its parts.
Here are some relevant links. All are for informational purposes only.

I might update this post as I read more of this book, but that's all for now.
