Odessa stories are interesting and dense. Interesting writing style and I hadn’t read Jewish gangster stories before, much less really learned about Jewish life in Odessa, which was a very Jewish city back when he was writing these.

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.
