Now I have and though of course there is no feedback I do actually feel like I've taken a class on deconstructing a short story. Either way, reading this book gave me a bit of hope during some really trying times, and if for no other reason than that, I highly recommend this. En realidad, yo también me voy a contradecir; para Saunders sí hay una regla: leer lo que has escrito, leerlo y releerlo, cada vez como si no lo hubieras escrito tú, o tratando de sentir lo que sentiría otra persona al leerlo por primera vez. Un día, convertidos en adolescentes llenos de granos e ideas propias, se van de casa no porque hayan alcanzado el grado de perfección que anticipaste, o porque tengan tanto de ti que ya no puedes darles más, sino por todo lo contrario y porque, sencillamente, ya toca.

He's been teaching this class for many years, and he finally decided to make the class public through this book.It is to Saunders’ credit and his innate intelligence that, despite all, he sensed that something would not be quite right in abandoning the warm feelings about Olenka (“the more I know about her, the less inclined I feel to pass a too-harsh or premature judgment.

And the next is a few parts that I took away that completely meshes with my views of the meaning of life.At the end, it was a very unusual, but fruitful reading experience, though I disagreed with quite a few interpretations of the individual stories. Chekhov’s “Gooseberries” is also a story about beauty, about the importance of beauty in life, and its nature. I want to state for the record, that I would like George Saunders to narrate my life (on paper, not in audio). Tienen muchas cosas en común: son historias sencillas, claras, domésticas, con un propósito —que no es otro que plantear las grandes preguntas: ¿Cómo se supone que debemos vivir la vida?
