About this title: Isaac Babel, one of the greatest writers to come out of Soviet Russia, died in a Siberian labor camp in 1941. He wrote masterly short stories, many of them about Jews trying to survive within the Soviet state--and often falling victim to it, as he did. This volume, edited by his daughter Nathalie Babel (who also writes a lengthy memoir of her father), includes all of Babel's short stories--many previously untranslated--along with his letters, plays, and diaries, and an introduction by Cynthia Ozick. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
