Socialist Realism

[Eliot Borenstein]

Could anyone recommend a relatively short work of Soviet Socialist Realism
that can be found in English translation?  I'm teaching a survey of 20th
Century Russian literature next semester, and would like to cover Socialist
Realism in one class period without resorting to excerpts (which is what
I've done in the past).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Please write to me at

                        Thanks,
