I appreciate the spearing across from one story's 'silos' of reading and reflection to another story's 'silos' Mikhaeyla. Such cross comparison is, I'm sure, going to be helpful and will probably add a little more worthwhile reading and reflection to our 'to do lists'.

An immediate thought that crosses my mind is that whereas Lu Hsun's story is, essentially, worked around a single salient incident Isaac Babel's works around series of salient incidents (or could I just as well say 'pulses'?)

da da da DUM DUM DUM da da da da > 'An Incident' ?

da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM > 'My First Goose' ?
