ISAAC BABEL'S YOU MUST
KNOW I;:VERYTHING A NEW
COLLECTION OF STORIES
BY THE RUSSIAN MASTER
TRANSLATED, FOR THE
FIRST TIME, BY MAX
HAYWARD. AND EDITED BY
NATHALIE • BABEL
Isaac Babel, the -greatest
Russian writer of fiction after
Chekhov, was arrested by Soviet
authorities in May 1939 and
never seen again. He was
posthumouly "rehabilitatecl" in
1954 by the Supreme Court of
the U.S.S.R,. "►n the absence of
elements of a crime." But even
though Babel's position as a
master Or iorld literature is
unquestioned, the slow process
of literary rehabilitation in his
native country began only in
1957, with an edition of his
Collected Works. Sold out in
two days, it was not reprinted
for ten years.
This volume collects nineteen
Babel stories of the period 1915
to 1937 that have never before
been translated. None was
included in the 1957 Soviet
Collected Works and only a few
appear in the 1967 edition;
indeed, two of the most
remarkable stories — "And Then
There Were None" and "The
Jewess" — have never been
published in the , original
Russian. The title story, part of
the famous childhood cycle, is
the first fiction Babel wrote; the
manuscript came to light very
recently. "Sulak," the final story
in this collection, was the next
to last published in his lifetime.
The remainder of the stories,
examples of consistent artistry
in varied genres, appeared in
forgotten Soviet magazines in
the twenties and early thirties
and have been unavailable to
both Russian and Western
readers. Of particular interest is
"Sunset," which was to be.
transmuted into Babel's finest
play.
In addition to the stories,
there- are six journalistic pieces
from 1918 (reprinted here for
the first . tinie) that, reflect
Babel's distress over the methods
and shortcomings of the new
Bolshevik regime. The
appendices gather a 1937
interview with'Babel and recent
memoirs and essays by"Russian
writers - Paustovsky and
Ehrenburg, among others.
The contents of YOU MUST
KNOW EVERYTHING have
been collected, through official
and unofficial, sources, by
Babel's daughter Nathalie. She
has also provided annotations
and has attempted to evaluate
the stories and situate them in
relation to the rest of Babel's
work.
Stanley Edgar Hyman, writing.
about Babel's THE LONELY
YEARS, 1925-1939, in The New
Leader, said, "As a writer during
the first decades of the Russian
Revolution, Babel isprimarily a
chronicler of its'inisfits, of those
eggs that are broken but then
not used in the omelette... And,
-the letters are immensely
important. They are a look
behind the works of art into the
desperate conditions of their
manufacture, like the letters of
Fitzgerald."

AUTHOR: Evan Hunter
PUBLICATION DATE:
July 25, 1969
PRICE: $8.50
Pages: 396
Evan Hunter's new novel,
SONS, tells of three generations
of men in an American family —
a grandfather, a father, and a son
— focusing on those crucial years
when each was between the ages
of seventeen and twenty.
War is -the common element in
the lives of these men and their
women — World W3ar I and, .-II•, •
and the Vietnam War, wars that
are profoundly the same yet
compellingly different. And it is
in this difference that the core
of SONS lies. Evan - Hunter
portrays the vast, changing heart '"""*'
and mind of America over the
last fifty years — an .America at
once the same and radically
altered. With ^ an immediacy
•more apparent than in, any.
history, SONS shows how many
of the ideas and feelings that
took shape at the beginning of
the century grew with the
passing years into the attitudes
of today about ourselves, the
world, prejudice, violence,
justice, sex; love, the family, and
personal commitment.
The versatile Evan Hunter is
the author of many short stories,
two screenplays, and nine
previous novels: "The
Blackboard Jungle," '`Second
Ending," . "A Matter of
Conviction," "Strangers When
We Meet?' "Mothers and
Daughters," "The Paper
Dragon," `&Buddwing," 'A
Horse's Head," and "Last
Summer." A major motion
picture of "Last Summer was
released in June to a most
receptive public. Mr. Hunter
lives in the New York area with
his wife and three sons.

"McPHEE'S TENNIS WRITING '4
IS MATCHPOINT TENSE.
John McPhee has done it
again, and- then some! After
writing over a period of yearsra
number of long biographical
sketches of individuals (Frank L.
Boyden, Bill Dradley, Euell
Gibbons, Temple Fielding,
Thomas P. F. Hoving), John
McPhee found that he wanted —
as he puts it — to try to write
about two people
simultaneously, two whose lives
were closely interreflective, and
who would in a sense sketch or
mirror one another while I was.

Watching Ashe and .Graebner
one day at Forest Hills, I
'thought, "Why not experiment
first with a pair of tennis
slavers? Why not Ashe and
Graebner? They're the same age.
Any, two Americans who reach
this level will have had to know
each other since childhood., At
their level, the community of
tennis players is so small that
there are no strangers. Any two

country will inevitably know
one another weliv and when they
play there can be few surprises.
Physical equipment being about
equal, ''the' role of psychology
becomes paramount, and each
will play out his game within the
fabric of his nature and his
background.
Here, then, is the perfect
evocation - of last year's tense
semi-finals match at Forest Hills:
Ashe, disciplined, determinedly
holding on till the triumphant
end; and Graebner, flamboyant,
quick-tempered, - nearly
incredulous at his defeat. John
McPhee has written far mole
than sports -figure biography; he
has dug deep into the psyches of
two men of polar natures and
upbringings. The result: "a
supple, fluid, graceful account,"
(Kirkus Reviews);,and absolutely
engrossing.
