Boris Akunin -- well translated (by Andrew Bromfield), highly "literary," and an integral part of the post-Soviet literarature scene, has gone over very well in my contemporary Russian lit class.
Best, Yelena

Subject: [SEELANGS] Looking for titles of post-Soviet Russian literature in translation

Dear All,

I will be teaching a course on contemporary Russian literature, with all works in English translation.  It is a survey course, and our time span will range from the late Soviet period to today. 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.

All the best,
Olga Livshin
