This combined work of short stories is truly some of the most descriptive literature I have ever read. I haven't read very many translated works, but I'm very glad that I picked this one up. The writing read almost like poetry and the translator did a marvelous job translating Grin's work.

By far, I recommend reading Fandango and Other Stories when you do not have anything pulling your attention away. It was hard for me to figure out where each short story was taking place as the setting was not always described in full detail. Even being pulled away for a quick second shook my focus and I could no longer place the setting of the stories.

I recommend this collection of short stories to anyone looking for a collection of Russian literature, which is by far a translated work that I see people reading these days. Especially when Alexander Grin's work was not admired until after his death.
