Dear Seelangtsy!


Can anyone suggest a book readily available in English translation of a recent literary work (or works) that is "recognizable" as taking place in today's Russia?  I'm open to any genre, including a collection, in any one of the "brows"--high, low, or middle. We will be reading an anthology of "classical" works, so I'm less concerned about the nature of this last reading.  All the works I'm familiar with myself are either not available in translation or too postmodernist to be "readable" by my students.


I'd appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks so much.
