Soc. Realist Short Stories/Sketches in English?

[Elizabeth A. Papazian]

Perhaps I should have worded my e-mail more carefully.  It's 
interesting to read the story (from 1934) in relation to "soc. 
realism," and that was what I was thinking about.

I'm replying to the whole list rather than to Alina alone because it 
seems like a good opportunity to mention the recent, really interesting 
essay in the New Yorker on Grossman by Keith Gessen.  This article also 
mentions a new book of Grossman's wartime writings, published by the 
New York Review of Books.  I recall there was a discussion of 
Grossman's translation a while back on the list; maybe this article in 
The New Yorker will help bring Grossman a wider readership.  Here's the 
link.
