Reviews
"Rosneck's work is skilled, thorough, and dedicated and, as she remarks, it is also necessarily exploratory. My hope is that An Album: Groups and Portraits will be translated and taught regularly and that Rosneck's study will inspire more translations of Khvoshchinskaia's works as well as a wider fascination with this elusive and compelling writer." - Prof. Jehanne M. Geith, Duke University
