Celebration of the Zoshchenko Centenary?

[Linda H. Scatton]

Re:  Centenary of Mikhail Zoshchenko
    Alas, you are a year too late!  Zoshchenko's birth year is now mostly
accepted as 1894 and the place, St. Petersburg.  (He liked to confuse his
readers on these scores, as others.)  In 1994 we had a series of events and
publications commemorating his life and works, including a Centennial Confer-
ence in Moscow, a panel devoted to him at the December national meeting of the
American Association of Teachers of Slavic & EE Languages, a book of essays
(Litso i maska MZ) and a new, 5-volume edition of his works published in
Russia.  If you're interested in more information and update, please contact
me directly, off list, at ScattonL at ca.sunycentral.edu
    I was delighted to see another Zoshchenko fan materialize and would like to
know more about your interests.
