"White Apples," the novella from which this book takes its title, is a touching and extremely powerful story of a doomed love affair. Annushka, its heroine, is one of the notable creations in contemporary fiction; few readers will finish her story without a strong emotional response. Among the six short stories included are two of particular brilliance: "The Clown," which comes close to being aminor classic, and the haunting "The Night Season." The collection also contains a dozen trenchant and fiverting "fables."
