@Lit_Books @kudera They put him through mock execution, yes? N after all that, he still revered the Czar. #RussianSoul

@kenaviba @Lit_Books @kudera yes, of course, and famously; Ken, do you have Russian favs? I like D., Chekhov, Gogol, Shalamov, Olesha, Biely

@kudera @Lit_Books @kudera I'd add Isaac Babel, "My 1st Goose", "Odessa Tales". Life in the raw. Admire Gorky's humanity.

@kenaviba @Lit_Books excellent! Isaac Babel figures prominently in the second half Fight for Your Long Day: http://t.co/108lqouY1e

@kudera @Lit_Books Just ordered it. If good as it sounds, will end up in my library in Nicaragua.

@kenaviba @Lit_Books thanks, Ken! just shelve it with the mortal (as opposed to canonical great) writers, laugh, cry, and feel a bit weird

@kudera @Lit_Books Precisely what looking 4: contemporary that contains canonical.
