Publication of Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya's "My life"

[slavicre at UOTTAWA.CA]

On behalf of the Slavic Research Group at the University of Ottawa and the
Ottawa University Press I am happy to report, at long last, the
publication of the English translation of Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya's "My
life" (earlier announced on SEELANGS on 8 February 2010).  It has been
translated by John Woodsworth and Arkadi Klioutchanski under my
editorship.  Apart from Tolstaya's extensive text, this 1250-page volume
includes some 4,000 footnotes, a critical introduction by the editor, two
indexes, a bibliography (with a section listing all Tolstaya's writings),
an outline of the 873 chapters comprising her narrative, an appendix
giving the full text of the 39 Russian-language poems cited by the author
together with an English verse translation -- as well as 64 pages of
colour illustrations.  For a description see:

The university administration, in collaboration with the University of
Ottawa Press, is sponsoring a book-launch extraordinaire on 6 October. 
Those of you who will be in the Ottawa area on that date are cordially
invited to attend.  For further details, please see:
