In this Russian story written by Isaac Babel, we meet a poor man who edits translations of Maupassant's stories. In this beautifully crafted story, we begin to understand the power of choice.
This is a brilliant interpretation of Babel's story, Kalpana. You certainly belong in Story Club, and I hope to read your contributions these days, while we're studying Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich.
THE POWER OF PUNCTUATION! “No iron can enter the human heart as chillingly as a full stop placed at the right time.” WOW. What a statement! I’ll be more careful with my full-stops from here on in, for fear that they may puncture a human heart!
