publishing inquiry

[Robert Chandler]

Dear Professor Boguslawski,

It would help us to help you if you could tell us more.  Who is the 'famous
Russian writer'?  And perhaps you could even tell ignorant people like
myself a little about Gladilin.

Regards,

Robert Chandler

> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> I have two inquiries, both dealing with publishing English translations of
> Russian literary works.
> 1. Most of you probably know Anatolii Gladilin's Zaporozhets na mokrom shosse.
> I am looking for an opportunity to publish the translation, with a number of
> explanatory notes, in a prestigious journal or an anthology.  If any of you
> knows of such an opportunity, please let me know how to contact the party in
> charge of the project.  The translation is ready, it is just waiting for a
> publisher.
> 
> 2. I am now translating a number of essays by a famous Russian writer.  I
> realize that the essays will have to be properly introduced and annotated, so
> they would best be published as an independent volume (approximately 120 typed
> pages). Please advise what would be the best places to start my inquiries and
> what would be the best way to attract publishers to undertake such a project,
> important for scholars of Russian (and not only Russian) literature, but
> probably not for an average American reader.  I apologize for such an inquiry,
> but I do not have my feet in or any friends in publishing circles.
