A Swim in the Pond in the Rain, George Saunders
First edition, first printing, signed and dated by Saunders to the title page. For the last twenty years, Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In this work, a collection of seven essays, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years.
New York: Random House, 2021. Publisher's original white paper-covered boards, spine lettered in metallic; pp. xii, 410, [7]. A very good or better copy in a near fine, unclipped dust jacket. Binding remains sturdy, bump to top of spine, light rubbing to edges of text block. Jacket shows just a hint of shelfwear, protected in archival mylar.
