Recensioner i media

"This selection of mainly newly translated stories from the 20th century includes both well-known writers and new voices. It eschews traditional selections from the former category and presents startling writings from the latter. As the editors-translators put it themselves in their lucid introduction, these stories together form a "mega-novel" about Russia of the previous century from its first revolution to post-perestroika times."
