One of my favorite Sorokin books, Leaves from a Russian Diary, was reviewed in the Minneapolis Sunday Tribune in 1926.
Sorokin was teaching at the University of Minnesota then.
The following photo of Sorokin appeared in the newspaper. It is one of the best photos of Sorokin I have seen, and to me it was entirely new.
