I love angst, and will soon read Young Mungo. Anyone interested in the Russian short story writers should read George Saunders’ A Swim in a Pond in the Rain. This book is only for those who long to return to the college class room especially those who long to perfect their short story writing.Read Russians? , you say. It is too late to place sanctions on Chekhov, Tolstoy and Gogol.

We sanction the Russian government, we can uplift the Russian writers!

I really enjoyed Olga Dies Dreaming too and I thought it was a very good debut book. I can't wait to see what she writes next. The author also has a newsletter with The Atlantic magazine called Brooklyn, Everywhere. I look forward to seeing it in my inbox weekly.
