 | | Gordin collaborated with Kobrin on completing Minna (1899) as a play; the title of Kobrin's Natur, Mensh un Khaye (Nature, Man and Beast, 1900) was a conscious echo of Gordin's Got, Mensch un Teivel (God, Man, and the Devil, 1893). |
 | | Liptzin singles out his tragedy Yankel Boila (1908, based on his own 1898 story) as the "apex" of his work, and describes its title character as "a kindhearted but dull-witted Jewish youth… embroiled in a complex moral and emotional dilemma to which he could find no solution short of suicide". |
 | | Kobrin continued, throughout his life, to contribute to Yiddish-language newspapers. |
