"The most powerful stories in this volume wed Shalamov's unblinking awareness of human frailty and historic catastrophe to his keen appreciation for nature . . . [A]t its best, Shalamov's prose is poetry of the highest order." --Boris Dralyuk, The Times Literary Supplement "As in his earlier volume [ Kolyma Stories ], Shalamov writes matter-of-factly, unblinkingly, about the endless horrors of the gulag, which are scarcely comprehensible. Essential chronicles of the worst face of the totalitarian state." -- Kirkus "A Virgil of this icy underworld, Shalamov is at his most compelling when bearing witness. He spares no detail, describing the diagnosis of dysentery, corpses exhumed for their clothing and the hacked-off hands of fugitives used for fingerprint identification. . . . We are fortunate that he--who died deaf, nearly blind and institutionalised--not only survived his sentence but had the force to withstand the exorcism of the experience." --Mia Levitin, The Spectator "'Every story of mine is a slap in the face of Stalinism,' Shalamov wrote in 1971. . . . Shalamov's stories are slaps in all our faces--and, like a slap, they can enliven as well as hurt. . . . Shalamov is not only a unique witness, but also a fine poet and one of the greatest of Russian writers of short stories. He is as important a figure as Primo Levi." --Robert Chandler, Financial Times "Shalamov is an unparalleled reporter on life in the Gulag and anatomist of the camp condition, which like an ulcer bled its malignance through the whole body of Soviet society. Not only a reporter but a great practitioner too of a ruthlessly stripped-down art." --J. M. Coetzee "Shalamov's experience in the camps was longer and more bitter than my own. . . . I respectfully confess that to him and not me it was given to touch those depths of bestiality and despair toward which life in the camps dragged us all." --Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, "Shalamov is an unparalleled reporter on life in the Gulag and anatomist of the camp condition, which like an ulcer bled its malignance through the whole body of Soviet society. Not only a reporter but a great practitioner too of a ruthlessly stripped-down art." --J. M. Coetzee, Praise for Kolyma Stories "These new translations of Varlam Shalamov's astonishing short stories may well establish Shalamov as the new laureate of the Gulag.... The power of fiction has never been better exemplified.... Shalamov's unique tone of voice and his pared-down style are beautifully rendered here by Rayfield--limpid, assured, the scarce moments of lyricism expertly caught.... One feels that poor Varlam Shalamov would be both amazed and delighted." --William Boyd, The Sunday Times "The book is packed with gems, each complete in itself. Together they form part of a mosaic unlike anything in world literature. A struggle with memory comparable with that of Proust or Beckett, this is a work of art of the highest order by a writer of extraordinary daring and ambition.... He resembled Chekhov in his combination of non-judgemental realism with unyielding severity in his view of the human world." --John Gray, New Statesman, "As in his earlier volume [ Kolyma Stories ], Shalamov writes matter-of-factly, unblinkingly, about the endless horrors of the gulag, which are scarcely comprehensible. Essential chronicles of the worst face of the totalitarian state." -- Kirkus "A Virgil of this icy underworld, Shalamov is at his most compelling when bearing witness. He spares no detail, describing the diagnosis of dysentery, corpses exhumed for their clothing and the hacked-off hands of fugitives used for fingerprint identification. . . . We are fortunate that he--who died deaf, nearly blind and institutionalised--not only survived his sentence but had the force to withstand the exorcism of the experience." --Mia Levitin, The Spectator "'Every story of mine is a slap in the face of Stalinism,' Shalamov wrote in 1971. . . .

Synopsis
The astonishing follow-up to 2018's Kolyma Stories . In 1936, Varlam Shalamov, a journalist and writer, was arrested for counterrevolutionary activities and sent to the Soviet Gulag. He survived fifteen years in the prison camps and returned from the Far North to write one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century literature, an epic array of short fictional tales reflecting the years he spent in the Gulag. Sketches of the Criminal World is the second of two volumes (the first, Kolyma Stories , was published by NYRB Classics in 2018) that together constitute the first complete English translation of Shalamov's stories and the only one to be based on the authorized Russian text. In this second volume, Shalamov sets out to answer the fundamental moral questions that plagued him in the camps where he encountered firsthand the criminal world as a real place, far more evil than Dostoyevsky's underground: "How does someone stop being human?" and "How are criminals made?" By 1972, when he was writing his last stories, the camps were being demolished, the guard towers and barracks razed. "Did we exist?" Shalamov asks, then answers without hesitation, "I reply, 'We did.'", In 1936, Varlam Shalamov, a journalist and writer, was arrested for counterrevolutionary activities and sent to the Soviet Gulag. He survived fifteen years in the prison camps and returned from the Far North to write one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century literature, an epic array of short fictional tales reflecting the years he spent in the Gulag. Sketches from of the Criminal World is the second of two volumes (the first, Kolyma Stories , was published by NYRB Classics in 2018) that together constitute the first complete English translation of Shalamov's stories and the only one to be based on the authorized Russian text. Shalamov spent six years as a slave in the gold mines of Kolyma before finding a less intolerable life as a paramedic in the prison camps. He began writing his account of life in Kolyma after Stalin's death in 1953 and continued for the next twenty years. In this second volume, Shalamov sets out to answer the fundamental moral questions that plagued him in the camps where he encountered first-hand the criminal world as a real place, far more evil than Dostoyevsky's underground: "How does someone stop being human?" and "How are criminals made?" By 1972, when he was writing his last stories, the remnants of the camps were being destroyed, the guard towers and barracks razed, the barbed wire rolled up and taken away. "Did we exist?" Shalamov asks, then answers without hesitation, "I reply, 'We did, ' with all the expressiveness of an official statement, with the responsibility, the precision of a document.", The astonishing follow-up to 2018's Kolyma Stories .
