Chicago or NY?

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues, Ms Moorad, Dr Chandler:

My heavens, when did the enormous MLA manage to move its entire
huge conference from Chicago to New York City this December?

Or is the MLA conducting 2 gargantuan conferences simultaneously?

Best wishes for the holiday season,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.

Soul and Other Stories
Andrey Platonov

Afterword by John Berger
The Russian Andrey Platonov is increasingly recognized as one of the
greatest of twentieth-century writers of fiction, and Soul offers a
selection of his finest stories. On Robert Chandler's translation, The
Observer wrote, "Rarely does literature come this close to being music."

Life and Fate
Vasily Grossman
Introduction by Robert Chandler
“Grossman’s account of Soviet life – penal, military and civilian – is
encyclopedic and unblinkered...enormously impressive...A significant
addition to the great library of smuggled Russian works.”—The New York Times
