...wrote Gore and Igor (see BOOKS), about a randy, globe-hopping Russian poet whose inspiration goes from bed to verse? Nobody knows, naturally, but Evgeny Evtushenlco, 34, did happen to be whooping around South America on publication day. As if to make Levin's publisher even happier, Evtushenko was seen with a mysterious, unnamed Chilean admirer, who followed him to Montevideo and checked into an adjoining hotel room. Come check-out time and the Dark Lady of the Sonnets was still with him, hiding discreetly in one corner of the lobby while Evgeny bellowed at photographers: "Just one picture...

...Canaan, Conn. Widely traveled and equally cosmopolitan in taste, Macrae over the years printed something for practically everyone; he sprang Mickey Spillane on the world (seven biggest sellers: 34.6 million copies), published Mountain Climber Maurice Herzog's classic Annapurna, Lawrence Durrell's The Alexandria Quartet, and Evgeny Evtushenko's Selected Poems. His great friend was A. A. Milne, whose whimsical Winnie-the-Pooh sold more than 1,000,000 copies and appeared in a dozen languages-including a pirated Russian translation (Vinni-Pukh i vse-vse-vse), which Macrae happily pirated right back last year and printed...

...partisans, workers, even a local soccer team that imprudently defeated an all-star German army eleven. Such ultimate impartiality made it possible for postwar Soviet policy, with its own vein of antiSemitism, to try to suppress the Jewish portion of the Babi Yar massacre-until 1961, when Poet Evgeny Evtushenko memorialized the Kiev Jews in burning verse. He was rebuked by the Soviet literary Establishment, but his own rebuke, in the poem's first two lines, was lastingly effective...

...drop sheer as a crude gravestone . . . Patterns of Horror. Evtushenko's "Babi Yar" helped create a Soviet climate in which this Babi Yar, "a documentary novel," could be published last fall in Russia, where it was widely read and acclaimed. The first full-length account for Russians of Kiev's years under the German occupation, Babi Yar is fictional only in narrative form, not fact. Novelist Kuznetsov, a gentile, was twelve years old when the Nazis arrived; he spent the next two years in Kiev discovering war and deprivation along with his own manhood. He has taken...
