The King in Odessa Stories is interesting. A bit longer and more grotesque. I have now seen his writing as realism in life and his Jewish characters are more than just scholars, but this is the first one where Jews are the gangsters. Interesting!

The Awakening and In the Basement are interesting stories. Easier to follow, more autobiographical, filled with a lot to dig into, with big themes like following your dreams and pressure of fitting in.
