THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'A masterclass from a warm and engagingly enthusiastic companion' Guardian ‘This book is a delight, and it’s about delight too. How necessary, at our particular moment’ Tessa HadleyFrom 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 university students. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, these essays are for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it’s more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.

Funny, frank and rigorous, A Swim in the Pond in the Rain ultimately shows how great fiction can change a person's life and become a benchmark of their moral and ethical beliefs.

'Part intro to Russian literature, part musings on craft, A Swim in the Pond in the Rain is all pleasure'Financial Times

Not durable
Style: Large - Red
I have trouble finding good chew toys for my dog becs there is a problem with everything. Rawhide is dangerous, bully sticks can cause infections, etc. I devised a system where I mix my dog's regular dry food with water, run it through the blender, and freeze it. I have a few bone molds where you can take the ice out fully, which work much better. I thought this would be good for him to lick. Unfortunately, once he was done licking, he began to chew the edges of the bone on this toy, and he was able to EAT little pieces off. I have a 23 lb. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, so he's not exactly a rough and tumble kind of dog. I noticed little red flakes in his poop, so this went in the trash.

Great Toy for a Hot Dog!
One if not my dogs favorite toys! We have a long haired mini dachshund and she loves material and squeakiness of this toy. She’s a texture girl so loves the ruffles of the middle part that stretches.
