And Sally Laird's translations of Petrushevskaya.  And Andrew Bromfield's of Pelevin.  And especially Joanne Turnbull's outstanding translations of Asar Eppel (GLAS).  The book, which deserves to be better known, is titled THE GRASSY STREET.

I am interested in finding out about more titles of works from the 1990s and 2000s in high-quality English translation, particularly prose and plays. I am aware of the NYRB series (Tatyana Tolstaya, Vladimir Sorokin and others) and Schocken Books (Lyudmila Ulitskaya and others), as well as major prose and poetry anthologies. Other sources for fiction and/or drama, such as literary journals with good translations of selected prose authors, as well as play publications, would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much for your help.
