Critiques
A good listen
Harry R
One highlight is Lee Vogler's fine reading of Maxim Gorky's "Her Lover". Its expressiveness brings out the narrator's irratability and self-reproach, glossing over the pathos of his neighbour. (A different reading can be found in "Best Russian Short Stories", also on Librivox.) Some may also like the odd story "Eeldrop and Appleplex" by T.S. Elliot.
