Vasily Grossman is widely recognized by Russian scholars as one of the outstanding literary figures of the twentieth century. The short fiction collected here satire, comedy, tragedy and pure narrative demonstrates all the bold intelligence, integrity and extraordinary vividness for which he has become known. Grossman is the author of the novel Life and Fate and A Writer at War, edited by Antony Beevor, the secret notebooks that detailed his four years with the Red Army, which include devastating accounts of the siege of Stalingrad and his arrival with the army at Treblinka, but he will not only be remembered for his evocation of wartime Stalingrad and his account of the Shoah. He has also left one of the most vivid and shocking depictions of famine in world literature in his last major work, Everything Flows.
