Here is a review I have written of Alexandra Popoff's recent, very interesting biography of Grossman. Though I make some criticisms, I recommend the book and am well aware that I have myself made mistakes in most of what I have written about Grossman over the years. Soviet literary history is full of myths and counter-myths and it is never easy to decide which sources to trust.

All the best, Robert
