2007 book 144

Isaac Babel's Red Cavalry
I've been home sick for a couple days, but managed to finish this book, the next one for our Jewish literature discussion group. Red Cavalry is Babel's series of stories about his time in the Russian army in 1920. I'm glad we have a professor leading discussion on this, because it can be hard to tease out the relevant strands of story. I really think whoever chose the books for this book group didn't always do a great job.
