Media Reviews
My personal touchstone for the sublime of prose fiction, to me the best story in the world.A Harold Bloom As I read Hadji-Murat again, I thought: this is the man one should learn from. Here the electric charge went from the earth, through the hands, straight to the paper, with no insulation, quite mer- cilessly stripping off any and all outer shrouds with a sense of truth - a truth, furthermore, which was clothed in garments both transparent and beautiful.A Isaac Babel
