Doudou was a pretty short story I wasn’t expecting from Babel.
Shabos story: “[she] had only ten fingers, but she had many more curses.” made me laugh.

Finished the Odessa Stories. Started the Red Calvary stories. Realized I can listen to Russian audiobook so first two Red Calvary stories I listened in Russian, while following along in English. Makes the translations and flow in different languages interesting and keeps my Russian sharp. Enjoyable and interesting to learn about how this Russian Jewish writing was so revolutionary at the time.
