exurbanis's review against another edition
5.0
This book was the winner of several literary prizes and on the shortlist for many more. I was swept away by these stories of the Latvian Jewish immigrant experience. Watch this young man.

An uninspiring book of short stories. At least it was a quick read.

These were terrific. I don't read short stories that often but I think I'll have to change that. Also, now I'm ahead on reading for this class which is good because I'm doing nanowrimo.

4.0
A series of loosely connected short stories about a Russian Emigrant called Natasha who integrates herself with her Canadian relatives. As you can guess the stories features culture clashes but it also serves a funny coming of age novel int he process.

Some noir, sometimes hilarious, Jewish realism right here. Four stars for the Natacha story, three for the rest.
