teaching a course on contemporary russian novels/short stories

[Adam Siegel]

Try using an online catalog at your--or any good--library.  Subject words:
Russian and Fiction.  Limit to work in English.  You'll get some garbage,
but it should alert you to work that might not have gotten very much
attention.

The Review of Contemporary Fiction covers a lot of lit in translation in
their book review section:
