Untranslated Russian novels that should be

[Perova Natasha]

Dear Liv and others
yes, ZhD was published by Alma Books in the UK (no US edition yet) but Bykov 
is a very prolific author and one of the most interesting thinkers in Russia 
today.  (We published a big excerpt in Glas 40 under the title "Jewhad", and 
in a different translation). His novels spotlight all the main problems of 
contemporary Russian life.
Olga Slavnikova's novel "2017" has been published by Overlook in the US but 
her other novels, and particularly "Light Head" deserve the attention of all 
those interested in present-day Russia and its near future.
Glas published Senchin's novel MINUS, but his latest novel "The Yeltyshevs" 
is almost a Shakesperean tragedy about a typical family crushed by 
perestroika. No economic reports will tell you so graphically how it all was 
for the people in the provinces.

I could extend the list, of course.
