About the Book

"As the narrative delivers glimpses of human life in bite-size chunks, [Asar] Eppel's extraordinary compassion and humor is revealed, combined with his Jewish sense of history and merciless insight into people's true natures." "Good Book Guide" "Unsentimental but humane, his spare realism penetrates daily life." "The New York Times Book Review""

About the Author :
Born in 1935 in Moscow, Eppel graduated from the Institute of Civil Engineering, majoring in Architecture. Unpublished in Soviet times due to his unorthodox views of Russian life he made his living as a literary translator, mainly from the Polish. His translations of Bruno Schultz and Wislava Simborska won him the Polish Medal "For the Service to Polish Culture." He also has to his credit translations of poetry such as Petrarch, Boccaccio, Scottish and Irish ballads, Bertolt Brecht, Kipling, 18th century American poets, to name a few. Today he is the vice-president of the Literary Translators' Guild and winner of the Foreign Literature magazine's literary award.

Review :
"Eppel introduces us to the world of Ostankino, transformed after the Revolution from an elegant country spot into a dustheap of peoples all nationalities with a touch of Jewish blood. Eppel was one of those people which is why his writing is so penetrating: it is not just talent but also love. His stories are modern classics, some of them comparable to the best of Chekhov." --Andrei Sergeev, winner of the 1996 Russian Booker Prize "How is it possible that the work of this brilliant, cultivated writer with his noble sense of humor and eternal Jewish anguish, with his all embracing compassion for people combined with his merciless insight into their true nature, was unknown? In my opinion, Asar Eppel is the best Russian writer today." --Ludmilla Pertrushevskaya, author of "The Time: Night" "In the erotic encounter of a couple in a vile barracks ("Red Caviar Sandwiches"), it is not so much the sordid environment that one retains, despite an obliging description, as the meeting, 'celebrating with muffled sobs our triumph over the foul surround'--this is the genius and the miracle of Asar Eppel: to impose life in the midst of social disaster and the ruin of self." --Christian Mouze, "La Quinzaine Litteraire"
