Review of Ballad of a Soldier (1959) by Scott C — 21 Jun 2012
Looks as if it might fall into the trap of so many tales about every one of a certain group (in this case, soldiers)--that it's vague, maudlin, etc. Instead its simplicity and specificity make it emotionally effective (most especially in its near perfect reunion sequence) and both broadly human and distinctly Russian.
