432 pages | Hardcover

From the New York Times bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Tenth of December, a literary masterclass on what makes great stories work, how to become both a better writer and reader, and what they can tell us about how to live.

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.

No worth buying
Size: 24+19
Not worth buying, 1 month after installation they stopped working well you could see the rubber piece that makes contact with windshield was loose on the verge of coming off, it was put on our 22 civic one that isnt used very often, so the fact that they died out so easily was disapointing, i plan on looking for some better ones and avoiding this brand 👎

These are fantastic. They were inexpensive, which made me nervous, but they are definitely high quality. They were all 3 super easy to install. Highly recommend! They also don't leave my windows streaky.

Quality Wipers
Size: Combo Pack (23" & 19"), Style: Top Lock Narrow
These Bosch Aerotwin wipers are a perfect fit for my 2020 Audi Q5 and work exactly as expected. Installation was quick and straightforward, and they snapped right into place with no issues. They wipe smoothly and quietly, leaving the windshield crystal clear even during heavy rain. Performance feels very close to OEM quality—no streaking, no skipping, just consistent and reliable cleaning. They also hold up well at highway speeds without lifting or making noise. Overall, a great upgrade or replacement for the Q5. Highly recommend if you want dependable, factory-style performance without paying dealership prices.
