    George Saunders: A Swim in a Pond in the Rain

    If you're sitting on a bookstore gift card with no idea what to buy, there's a book coming out on the 12th of January that I've been looking forward to. It's essentially a distilled version of a course George Saunders has been teaching to mfa students at Syracuse for twenty-odd years on Russian short fiction. Not necessarily a writing book in the "how-to" sense, but I'll bet it's plenty revealing as to what the Russian masters did that makes their work so compelling.
