Includes bibliographical references."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"--- Subjects: Gogolʹ, Nikolaĭ Vasilʹevich, 1809-1852.; Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, 1860-1904.; Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, 1860-1904.; Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich, 1860-1904.; Turgenev, Ivan Sergeevich, 1818-1883.; Tolstoy, Leo, graf, 1828-1910.; Tolstoy, Leo, graf, 1828-1910.; Reader-response criticism; Short stories, Russian; Short stories, Russian;

- The orchard : a novel / by Gorcheva-Newberry, Kristina,author.; Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich,1860-1904.Vishnevyĭ sad.;
"Four teenagers grow inseparable in the last days of the Soviet Union--but not all of them will live to see the new world arrive in this powerful debut novel, loosely based on Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Coming of age in the USSR in the 1980s, best friends Anya and Milka try to envision a free and joyful future for themselves. They spend their summers at Anya's dacha just outside of Moscow, lazing in the apple orchard, listening to Queen songs, and fantasizing about trips abroad and the lives of American teenagers. Meanwhile, Anya's parents talk about World War II, the Blockade, and the hardships they have endured. By the time the girls are fifteen, the Soviet Empire is on the verge of collapse. They pair up with classmates Trifonov and Lopatin, and the four friends share secrets, desires, and all the turbulent and carefree pleasures of youth. But the world is changing, and the fleeting time they have together is cut short by a sudden tragedy. Years later, Anya returns to Russia from America, where she has chosen a different kind of life, far from her family and the bittersweet memories of her friends. When she meets Lopatin again, he is a smug businessman who wants to buy her parents' dacha. Anya comes to the stark realization that memory does not fade or disappear; rather, it moves us across time, connecting our past to our future, joys to sorrows. This powerful novel speaks to how we experience and process grief--for a beloved friend, a cherished ideal for a country, or for youth itself"--- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Novels.; Friendship; Grief; Homecoming; Memory; Teenagers;
