I've read some 20 of these, all that's been translated into Finnish, and I haven't found a bad one yet. My favorites are roughly the same as Etienne's but I also liked a lot The petit homme d'Arkhangelsk, not sure what that's called in English. It's very noir and a bit similar to The Man Who Watched The Trains Go By.

I don't remember who recommended here Isaac Babel, but thanks anyway. I'm now reading his short stories, and I don't think I've read anything so good for a long time. Including Cormac McCarthy.
