“These straightforward yet extraordinary sketches gain their strength from also being the account of a young man’s growth. One begins to see that he became a novelist not because he had material but because he was storing up passion and temperament.” — V.S. Pritchett, New Statesman
“…they don’t read outdated, musty or strange today. Instead, they evoke archetypal situations we experience in contemporary medical storytelling.” —The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Bulgakov casts a wonderfully wry, self-deprecating humour. His compassion for human folly is unfailing … These stories stand testament both to human resilience and a remarkable literary talent.” — The Independent
“Stories as keen and bright as a scalpel … Courage shines from every angle of this profoundly human collection by the greatest of modern Russian writers.” — Sunday Times
