Dear reader,
Skimmer,
Finger licker,
Page flicker,
Before you peep and peruse,
I ask you one thing
For me, these words, when typed and printed are flat and too smooth.
They belong with your lips, your teeth and tongue.
Roll them around and savor each one.
Take big bites, or nibble at edges
Taste the hard hitting T's, and those delicious S's,
Above all, please, feel those vibrations in your throat
I hope they reach your bones and the tricky corners...

Ring any bells? Maybe you're too young. I probably should...

And considering their profound influence on Russian novels and also operas, those short stories are sometimes unjustly overlooked. For the readers, the short story form is certainly a lot easier to assimilate – many of the great Russian short stories are real page-turners, and...
