Dear SEELANGERS,

This is just to let you know that Hugh McLean will be reviewing the new
Pevear/Volkonsky translation in the 2001 issue of Tolstoy Studies Journal,
due out next December.  The journal invites submissions on all aspects of
Tolstoy's life and writings to this and subsequent issues.  For more

Best regards,

Donna Orwin, Editor
