The only thing harder than cracking jokes may be translating them. Perhaps this is why Mikhail Zoshchenko remains a lesser-known Russian writer among English-language readers, despite being one of the Soviet Union's most beloved humorists, a satirist in the best traditions of Gogol. Boris Dralyuk's new translation of Sentimental Tales , a collection of Zoshchenko's stories from the 1920s, is a delight that brings the author's wit to life, Essential for all lovers of Russian literature in its many forms. Humorous, profound, multi-faceted and tragic, these Sentimental Tales will have you laughing and crying at the same time., In the face of ideological pressure to produce heroic forms, Zoshchenko's playful, sly, gallows-humored Sentimental Tales responds with Superfluous Men. The prefaces are wonderful, almost Nabokovian apologia by 'the author' (also fictional) describing his task of trying to fulfill the requirements of the new Soviet reader. Of course, he only succeeds in underscoring the ridiculousness of his position. If life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel, Zoshchenko gives us comedy silhouetted in unspoken tragedy. This many-layered pleasure is brought closer to the contemporary reader by a nimble translation by Boris Dralyuk., Zoshchenko's satirical prowess brought him fame in the Soviet Union, and these Sentimental Tales , with their dark humor and sharp parody, rank among his best writings. Boris Dralyuk's fine translations succeed wonderfully in conveying the innovative style and unique narrative voice of the originals., Zoshchenko is the wittiest and most perceptive of Soviet satirists. Boris Dralyuk is the first translator to succeed in bringing his wit into English. Comedy is largely a matter of timing, and Dralyuk, like Zoshchenko himself, has an impeccable sense of rhythm., Mikhail Zoshchenko is one of Russia's great humorists, not only of the Soviet era but of all time. Boris Dralyuk's translation of Sentimental Tales reads beautifully, and the English language work is a real tour de force. It transmits Zoshchenko's quirky style while still maintaining a natural, easy flow, with well-judged rhythms and cadences that echo Zoshchenko's own., The connections between the stories of love, life and regret are the absurdities and meaninglessness of life. Love, success, comfort are all set against the instability and unpredictability of Russian society. One can strive for decades and it will all be for nought. Reading these reminded me of Dostoevsky's lighter work. Wonderful., Dralyuk's renderings provide worthy updates, largely successful in employing different registers to capture Zoshchenko's sparkling hodge-podge of colloquialisms and formal locutions., In the face of ideological pressure to produce heroic forms, Zoshchenko's playful, sly, gallows-humored Sentimental Tales responds with superfluous men. If life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel, Zoshchenko gives us comedy silhouetted in unspoken tragedy. This many-layered pleasure is brought closer to the contemporary reader by a nimble translation by Boris Dralyuk., I know of no satirist more angry, more warlike than Mikhail Zoshchenko. Yet I love him not for his anger, I love him for his astonishing irony--for the fact that it is sometimes difficult to determine the target of his mockery: is it his characters, his readers, himself? This new translation preserves Zoshchenko's irony in all its force., Mikhail Zoshchenko is one of Russia's great humorists, not only of the Soviet era, but of all time. Boris Dralyuk's translation of Sentimental Tales reads beautifully, and the English language work is a real tour de force. It transmits Zoshchenko's quirky style while still maintaining a natural, easy flow, with well-judged rhythms and cadences that echo Zoshchenko's own., Superb . . . a collection of six of Zoshchenko's marvelous longer stories written between 1923 and 1929., A gift to the English-speaking world. . . . Boris Dralyuk's translation faithfully recreates the paradoxes that make Sentimental Tales enigmatic, hilarious, and devastating., If you find Chekhov a bit tame and want a more bite to your fiction, then you need a dose of Zoshchenko, the premier Russian satirist of the twentieth century. . . . The translations, as we would expect of Dralyuk, are light and fluid, allowing the full bite of Zoshchenko's voice to power through. Snap up this thin volume and enjoy., Zoshchenko's stories are vignettes and anecdotes: short, written in simple language, often paradoxical, and always very funny., Boris Dralyuk is to be commended for a jaunty translation that keeps pace with the author's whimsical self-amusement, tickling the reader in turn., Boris Dralyuk's 2018 translation is truly a gift to the Englishspeaking world. This is First time they have been published together in a cohesive English-language collection. Boris Dralyuk's translation faithfully recreates the paradoxes that make Sentimental Tales enigmatic, hilarious, and devastating., Boris Dralyuk's translation allows the reader to enjoy Zoschenko's playfully evasive relationship with 'truth' that allowed him to briefly function as such an atypical Soviet author. . . . Zoschenko's wry assessment of the workings of state bureaucracy and their impact on the individual calls to mind the surreality of Nikolai Gogol's Petersburg stories, recast in an age when the system has acquired new rulers but is largely unchanged nonetheless., Zoshchenko is the wittiest and most perceptive of Soviet satirists. Boris Dralyuk is the first translator to succeed in bringing his wit into English. Comedy is largely a matter of timing and Dralyuk, like Zoshchenko himself, has an impeccable sense of rhythm., A re-packaging of Zoshchenko for a new generation in dire need of dark humor, and of the sparkling wit of both author and translator., Mikhail Zoshchenko masterfully exhibits a playful seriousness. . . . Juxtaposing joyful wit with the bleakness of Soviet Russia, Sentimental Tales is a potent antidote for Russian literature's dour reputation.

Synopsis
Mikhail Zoshchenko's Sentimental Tales are satirical portraits of small-town characters on the fringes of Soviet society in the first decade of Bolshevik rule. An original perspective on Soviet life and uproariously funny, Sentimental Tales at last shows Anglophone readers why Zoshchenko is considered among the greatest humorists of the Soviet era., Mikhail Zoshchenko's Sentimental Tales are satirical portraits of small-town characters on the fringes of Soviet society in the first decade of Bolshevik rule. The tales are narrated by one Kolenkorov, who is anything but a model Soviet author: not only is he still attached to the era of the old regime, he is also, quite simply, not a very good writer. Shaped by Zoshchenko's masterful hands--he takes credit for editing the tales in a series of comic prefaces--Kolenkorov's prose is beautifully mangled, full of stylistic infelicities, overloaded flights of metaphor, tortured clich , and misused bureaucratese, in the tradition of Gogol. Yet beneath Kolenkorov's intrusive narration and sublime blathering, the stories are genuinely moving. They tell tales of unrequited love and amorous misadventures among down-on-their-luck musicians, provincial damsels, aspiring poets, and liberal aristocrats hopelessly out of place in the new Russia, against a backdrop of overcrowded apartments, scheming, and daydreaming. Zoshchenko's deadpan style and sly ventriloquy mask a biting critique of Soviet life--and perhaps life in general .
