problems finding "Heart of a Dog" and "The Naked Year"

[Furman, Yelena]

Every time I've taught the 20th century course, that's the translation I used (Ginsburg, Grove Press).  I don't recall any problems getting it, although the last time I taught it was at least three years ago, so maybe something's changed.
Good luck finding it.  The students really, really enjoy Heart of a Dog.

Here's the Mirra Ginsburg translation of the Bulgakov, published by Grove Press, on Amazon (listed as in stock):
http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Dog-Mikhail-Bulgakov/dp/0802150594/ref=pd_sim_b_1

There are other translations that might be available from Amazon.uk: by M. Glenny and H. Aplin (titled A Dog's Heart).

The Pilnyak does seem to be OP.

There are various editions and copies for sale on the internet from individual sellers (selling through portals such as Amazon.com).  We cannot order from those sources, but studenst certainly can, if you find that necessary for your course.I'm sorry we're not better help on those two titles, but they do not appear to currently be in print."
