Review

"Berberova herself was somewhat disparaging about these stories.... She explained that 'some were written in a hurry for money, with low-level results....' Berberova didn't do herself justice. The 13 stories of BILLANCOURT TALES are closely observed, potently phrased and dapperly shaped. Sly and heartfelt, they strike a note of picaresque melancholy as Berberova examines an eclectic assortment of Russian plights and fates."

Publisher's note

In a collection of thirteen short works written between 1928 and 1940 for an TmigrT newspaper, a group of homesick Russians scramble to build lives in their new Parisian suburb homes, efforts that are shaped by the community developments of Russian churches, schools, and small businesses. Reprint.

Annotation

These 13 stories, originally written by Nina Berberova for an émigré newspaper, are about Russians transplanted to the Paris suburb of Billancourt in the 1930s.
