Query: Random Anecdotes

I read this after I read "War and Peace" and was interested in Tolstoy. I was very impressed with Gorky's insight. This book is clearly written, and fairly interesting. It is full of random anecdotes - but in a familiar, sweet way, so it doesn't seem disjointed. If you would like to know some more details about some Russian authors, this is a good book. A part that stands out is Gorky hitting his landlady with a shovel, and the very last chapter about the way Alexander Blok treated a prostitute. It is simply written and wonderful to read.
