I fell off @ the end, + didn't quite finish it. I don't know what about this book made me read it. I know nothing about Russian literature. I enjoyed the writing at the beginning. The author really loves Babel, and the way that comes through is charming as well as educational. It's been a long time since I read it, + I don't remember well what I enjoyed abt it.
