Patricia was a journalist with an interest in Russian literature of the
Soviet period. She had also served as a correspondent in the Soviet
Union for /Time-Life/ and as the consultant on Soviet affairs for
/Time/. She edited five collections in English translation of Soviet-era
Russian literature --some with Max Hayward--including /Dissonant Voices
in Soviet Literature/, /Halfway to the Moon: New Writing from Russia/,
/Writers in Russia/, and two books of poetry, one of Mayakovsky and the
other of Voznesensky. Up until her death, she was working on a biography
of Isaac Babel.

Sincerely,

Terry and Alexandra
