Suggestions for 20th-century literature survey?

That is confusing.  I have a copy with the ISBN you reference, but there is
another one (skip the colon in the title search)

http://www.amazon.com/Voices-Contemporary-Soviet-Short-Stories/dp/0155657275/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1

It has a diffferent ISBN, but the rest of the info looks the same.  If it
works out, it starts at only $2 and provides access to more copies.
