Review:
Antonina Pirozhkova, Isaac Babel's widow, recounts the last seven years of the man many consider the finest short-story writer of the 20th century. Although no complete biography has ever been written of Babel, Pirozhkova's book goes a long way toward bringing out Babel's complex and at times contradictory nature, as well as the exhilarating and terrifying period of Stalin's Russia. Through it all we are given a clear view of Babel, the man: a man of burning curiosity and intellect, as well as a man of great humor and aplomb. When he was arrested by the secret police, Babel remarked to one of the arresting officers, "So, I guess you don't get much sleep, do you?"
