- catalog abstract ""Now added to the quartet of books by Nina Berberova that New Directions has presented for the delight of American readers is this very special baker's dozen - Billancourt Tales. These are thirteen stories chosen from those she wrote in Paris between 1928 and 1940 for the emigre newspaper The Latest News.". "Billancourt, a highly industrialized suburb of Paris, gave Berberova her subject. Here thousands of exiled Russians - White Guards, civilians, and Berberova herself - were finding work and establishing homes away from home with their Russian churches, schools, and small business ventures. Berberova thought the significance of the tales was in their historical and sociological aspects, not in their artistry. But the reader will demur, for these are fine stories, the kind that have lead to comparison to Chekhov. They portray a wide range of human beings and the twists and turns of their various lives."--BOOK JACKET.".
