Reviews
Roger Keys, cotranslator of Sisters of the Cross:
Antonina Bouis gives a generous selection of the shorter prose of Alexei Remizov, a leading exponent of modernist fiction in Russia, whose work has remained largely inaccessible to readers in English-speaking countries. The translator is to be congratulated on the clarity with which she has rendered into English the stories of this most Russian of Russian writers.

Anna Vassilieva, translator of The Road to Home:
The Little Devil and Other Stories offers a dazzling range of the little-known symbolist writer’s work. The beautiful translation by Antonina W. Bouis captures the nuances of every selection, including the tour de force—Bouis’s sensitive rendering of “Princess Mymra.” A book for fans of Remizov and readers discovering him.
