short and short short stories (Penguin anthology)

[Robert Chandler]

Dear Vladimir Shatsev,

My "Russian Short Stories from Pushkin to Buida" (Penguin Classics) will be
published in the US in July.  It meets most of your requirements, although
we have not given a lot of space to Chekhov, since he is so readily
available in other editions.   About 2/3 of the translations are my own.
Other translators include Rosamund Bartlett,  Jane Costlow, Martin Dewhirst,
William Edgerton, Michael Glenny, S. Koteliansky, D.H. Lawrence, Angela
Livingstone, Olga Meerson, Oliver Ready, David Richards, Joanne Turnbull,
Nathaniel Wilkinson.  Many other scholars, translators and friends also
contributed in many ways.

Yours,   Robert Chandler
