“The most important, most influential, and most perfectly realized Russian novel written in the 20th century.” - The New York Times Book Review
“This modernist novel, rightly regarded as one of the pinnacles of twentieth-century Russian literature, presents great challenges to the translator. With unswerving loyalty to the original, Elsworth has succeeded in capturing its idiosyncratic rhythms and elusive layers of meaning, producing a masterful translation that reads like a work of art in its own right.” – 2012 Rossica Prize Judging Panel
“One of the four most important works of twentieth century literature.” – Vladimir Nabokov
