Enjoyed the short stories. Didn’t agree with Saunder’s explanations for the most part. Surgical analysis of the storyline is just not up my alley.

I can read a lot into stories, but even I think this analysis of “The Nose” might be reaching too far.

"In the Cart" - Chekhov
I have read this story before, so I found it very interesting to see how much more Saunders was able to reveal to me than what I was able to notice alone. The story was dissected page-by-page, with questions put to the reader regarding what feelings it evoked and what expectations it aroused. I might find myself reading short stories more slowly hereafter.
