Dillon, of course, cannot be blamed for that.

Whether it was suicide or murder is an open question. Dillon thinks it was murder, but can't prove it. He does show that the case for suicide is unconvincing. This book tells just about all that is known concerning Lewis. It arouses a desire for more knowledge.

Isaac Babel is generally considered to be the heir of Chekhov and Turgenev as a Russian short story writer.
