Written in Paris between 1928 and 1940 for an emigrant newspaper, <i>Billancourt Tales</i> is about the industrialized suburb of Paris where thousands of exiled Russians, including Berberova, were finding factory work and establishing homes. These fine stories, sometimes amusing, sometimes sad, portray a wide range of human emotions. All show Berberova at her very best, "as graceful and subtle as Chekhov," (Anne Tyler).
