Yury Trifonov, one of the preeminent Russian writers of the
twentieth century, took a turn toward the controversial-and a leap
toward greatness-with the publication of the two novellas included
in this collection. "The Exchange" and "The Long Goodbye," part of
the "Moscow trilogy" that established Trifonov's reputation, are
remarkable for their depiction of the complex dilemmas and
compromises of Russian life after the Second World War. These
works, along with the two short stories "Games at Dusk" and "A
Short Stay in the Torture Chamber," detail the moral and spiritual
decline in Russia that resulted from the growing distance between
the theoretical idealism of the Soviet state and the actual
materialism and careerism that increasingly marked Russian
society.
