These fourteen remarkable stories by a
young Russian writer now living in Israel
impressively combine sardonic realism
and lavish, free-wheeling imagination...
both fueled by the paralyzing facts of
Soviet life. The Game provides a Gegol-
like description of a middle-aged busi-
nessman wheeling and dealing in the
plant where he works, skillfully sabotag-
ing his rivals. In Aunt Lena, the young
narrator watches the confrontation be-
tween his father, who has denounced his
own brother, and the brother s wife. In
The Old Woman the principal character
rents a room from an old lady with magical
powers who reveals to him the triviality of
his life ... and disappears.
The prodigal talent in all these stories
ensures that Gerenstain (like Garcia
Marquez) is on the way to commanding a
fictional territory all his own.
