A review by dycook
Red Cavalry by Isaac Babel, Nathalie Babel

5.0

This was one of the most surprising things I've read all year. I had never heard of this collection or even Babel until it came up on a class syllabus. These stories are sometimes disturbing, but they are filled with some of the most interesting language I have ever read. There is a very visceral quality to Babel's descriptions that is very poignant.
