Suggestions for 20th-century literature survey?

[Alyssa Gillespie]

Dear colleagues:

Next semester I will be teaching the second semester of our Advanced  
Russian (3rd year) course, which is conceived as simultaneously a  
course on advanced language topics as well as an introduction to  
reading 20th-century Russian literature (prose and poetry; plays are  
also possible) in Russian.

The first semester of this year-long course (which I am currently  
teaching) is similarly conceived but covers the 19th century, and I am  
successfully using The Golden Age reader (ed. Sandra Rosengrant)  
coupled with Emil Draitser's 19th-c. poetry anthology for that course.  
I have hit upon a reader entitled Seven Soviet Poets published by  
Duckworth (ed. Robert Porter) that may well work for the poetry  
component of the spring semester course, but I am coming up dry in  
regard to prose. Of course I could compile a reader of my own, but  
that would mean that the students would lack the extremely useful  
marginal glosses and glossary, biographical information, and other  
pedagogical materials that are found in Rosengrant's anthology.

Can anyone suggest an equivalent text to The Golden Age reader that  
covers 20th-century prose (and/or poetry and plays, but prose right  
now is my main concern) for intermediate-to-advanced level Russian  
language students?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Best wishes,
Alyssa Dinega Gillespie
