A superb gathering of writings by the short-lived Alexander Pushkin … Pevear and his longtime partner Volokhonsky render Pushkin's words in an easy, conversational tone that is very far from the fustiness of the Constance Garnett renderings of old … A long overdue collection that speaks truly and well to Pushkin's brilliance as a prose stylist as well as observer of the world
