Literary secrets are easy to uncover—just turn the page.
CHEKHOV. TURGENEV. TOLSTOY. GOGOL.
SEVEN stories by famous Russian writers—SEVEN essays that George Saunders created based on a course he has been teaching at Syracuse University for many years.
“When you read these authors, they change you, and the world around you seems to start telling a different, much more interesting story—one in which you can play an important role and where the reader carries responsibility,” Saunders writes in the introduction.
Because studying literature means studying life itself.
“A tribute to every writer and reader.” — O, The Oprah Magazine
“This book is especially wonderful because it isn’t just another ‘how-to’ or a critical essay. It’s a real immersion in history; Saunders found the perfect balance between dissecting the writing and captivating the reader.” — The Guardian
