New York Times bestselling and Booker Prize-winning author George Saunders’s new book A Swim in the Pond in the Rain is a literary masterclass on what makes a great story work and what great stories can tell us about what it means to be a human being. Saunders is also Ponder editor Nathan’s favourite living writer (“he’s one of my five all-time fantasy dinner guests!”) and in this episode of the Ponder podcast they discuss some of the questions about writing that Nathan has been keeping a mental tally of since he first started reading Saunders’s work. After listening, not only will you come away wanting to read Saunders’s new book, but you’ll want to read anything he has ever written, his deeply thoughtful approach to reading and writing having you hang off his every word.
