28. The Outrage by Aleksandr I. Kuprin.
28. The Outrage by Aleksandr I. Kuprin.
When the association of thieves are slandered with participating in murder, they come to defend their honour in court, much to the bafflement of the barristers.
The Outrage - like many short stories - focuses on style, setting and character. Leaving behind plot and story. Nearly all the piece is the speech of one man, yet it is as engaging as any adventure. The language is masterfully written (and translated), full of witticisms, colourful metaphors and political arguments.
The speech of the ‘orator’ is light-hearted and charming, which may distract you from the heavy topics he talks about. Leaving aside the communist ideology throughout the piece, the main setting of the story takes place after one of the many terrible anti-Jewish pogroms of the Russian Empire. It may be a quirky story, but Kuprin tackled some deep problems with his nation.
Kuprin is lesser known than his Russian contemporary Chekhov, but he proves himself to be just as deserving of praise.
