of the works of 18 authors, with frequent quotes included from their writings, and short biographies of each writer included in an appendix. The introduction discusses the genre of
Russian-Jewish literature. Introductory essays to each thematic section discuss central issues including pogroms, and narrative in Jewish assimilation literature. Translated from the Hungarian
by J獺nos Boris, the volume is distributed by Books International. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
