"1001 Climbing Tips is a refreshing take on the climbing guide genre. Irreverent, it has a laugh on virtually every page, but also some extremely useful advise and some points of genuine interest." - Paul Pritchard, 2016 Banff Mountain Book Competition Jury

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the 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.LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/DIAMONSTEIN-SPIELVOGEL AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, Time, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Town & Country, The Rumpus, Electric Lit, Thrillist, BookPage • “[A] worship song to writers and readers.”—Oprah DailyFor the last twenty years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it’s more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.In his introduction, Saunders writes, “We’re going to enter seven fastidiously constructed scale models of the world, made for a specific purpose that our time maybe doesn’t fully endorse but that these writers accepted implicitly as the aim of art—namely, to ask the big questions, questions like, How are we supposed to be living down here? What were we put here to accomplish? What should we value? What is truth, anyway, and how might we recognize it?” He approaches the 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. The process of writing, Saunders reminds us, is a technical craft, but also a way of training oneself to see the world with new openness and curiosity.A Swim in a Pond in the Rain is a deep exploration not just of how great writing works but of how the mind itself works while reading, and of how the reading and writing of stories make genuine connection possible.

In Westdeutschland wurden mit dem Bau der innerdeutschen Grenze Flugblätter, Zeitschriften und später auch Bücher an gasgefüllten Ballons befestigt, um sie bei entsprechenden Windverhältnissen durch einen zeitgesteuerten Mechanismus auf dem Gebiet der DDR abzuwerfen. Ohne Kontextualisierung könnten die Ballons vieles sein: Kinderspiel, Land Art, performative Installation, meteorologisches Messinstrument oder eben ein Mittel zur Verbreitung politischer Interessen. In Ballons stehen Fotos aus dem Archiv der Staatssicherheit und protokollartige Texte nebeneinander, die den Flug der Transportballons und die Auswirkungen ihrer Landung dokumentieren. In der Zusammenstellung entstehen vor den Augen der Leser·innen Bilder aus dem Alltag in der DDR; ein Alltag voller zerschlagener Dächer, zerrissener Stromkabel und vernichteter Flugblätter; ein Alltag, der so oder so ähnlich gewesen sein könnte. Jens Klein, geb. 1970 in Apolda, lebt und arbeitet in Leipzig. Seine Arbeiten wurden in zahlreichen Ausstellungen gezeigt, u.a. im Folkwang Museum Essen, in der Villa Stuck und in den Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden. Er erhielt u.a. den Dokumentarfotografie Förderpreis der Wüstenrot Stiftung, ein Arbeitsstipendium des Kunstfonds Bonn und das DZ Bank Förderstipendium 2021/22. -- When the inner-German border was established, West Germans would attach leaflets and magazines - and subsequently books too - to gas-filled balloons installed with a timer mechanism that dropped them in the GDR if wind conditions were favourable. In the absence of any contextualization, the balloons could be many things: a child's plaything, land art, a performative installation, a meteorological measuring instrument, or even a means of broadcasting political concerns. Balloons juxtaposes photos from the Stasi archives with texts in the form of logs documenting the flight of the transport balloons and the consequences of their landing. The images in the compilation vividly convey everyday life in the GDR: a litany of smashed roofs, torn power cables and destroyed leaflets; a routine existence that might have looked this way or something like it. Jens Klein, b. 1970 in Apolda, lives and works in Leipzig. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, including at the Folkwang Museum Essen, the Villa Stuck and the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. He has received, among others, the Documentary Photography Award of the Wüstenrot Foundation, a working scholarship from the Kunstfonds Bonn and the DZ Bank Scholarship 2021 / 22.
