Kotlovan in English (was: Vasily Grossman and Andrey Platonov)

[Robert Chandler]

Olga, David and all,

Thank you, Olga & David, for your generous words.

And thanks again to everyone on SEELANGS who has contributed to these
translations, which truly are a collective work.  SEELANGS is an unusually
generous, supportive and intelligent community and I am proud to be part of
it. 

Vsego dobrogo,

Robert




> I've meant to weigh in for a while on the Chandler/Meerson translation of
> Kotlovan. I used it in my 20th-c. Russian lit class in the fall, and it is
> truly a stunning achievement. It makes this novel teachable in translation
> for the first time, in my opinion. I've never been so impressed by a
> translation of a Russian novel. I highly recommend considering it for your
> courses, or even if you just wish to contemplate a bold and brilliant
> translation!
