Kristin shared that the bookishness of this newer novel would appeal to attendees. Featuring two timelines and a failed dictionary publisher, there is a lot of humor in this one. The world Kristin was searching for that refers to non-words planted in dictionaries (typically to protect copyright) was mountweazel!

Kristin had just started reading this book about Russian short stories and said it was the kind of book that the people in attendance would enjoy. She has now finished reading and continues to think that this is one of those books that the Books@Noon regulars will very much enjoy. This is a book version of Mr. Saunder's seminar on the Russian short story at the Syracuse MFA program where he teaches.
