[J.W.]

Ottawa, Wednesday 1/2/12 15h45 EST

Dear SEELANGers,

This is to announce the forthcoming publication -- by the Slavic Research
Group at the University of Ottawa and the State L.N. Tolstoy Museum in
Moscow -- of VOLUME 9 in the TOLSTOY SERIES:

Title: Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya: Literary works
Author: Andrew Donskov, F.R.S.C.

This is a follow-up volume to Tolstaya’s extensive autobiographical memoir
"My life", which Donskov published in 2010 through the University of
Ottawa Press, in an English translation by John Woodsworth and Arkadi
Klioutchanski.  (This translation recently won the Lois Roth Award
presented by the Modern Language Association of America for the best
translation of a literary work into English.)

The new book presents (a) a critical study (in English) of Tolstaya’s
overall literary output (with subchapters on her individual works) and (b)
an anthology, compiled for the first time in a single volume, of her major
literary works in their original Russian, including: contributions to
Tolstoy’s "Novaya azbuka"; "Kukolki-skelettsy i drugie rasskazy"; the
novella "Ch’ja vina?";  the narrative "Pesnja bez slov"; the poem in prose
"Stony"; excerpts from "Moja zhizn’"; along with a number of her poems.

Also included in this volume is a chronology (in English) of Tolstaya’s
life (covering some 70 pages, including extensive footnotes) and a 45-page
bibliography, along with an index of names, as well as a number of
illustrations.

For further information about the book or for ordering, please contact the
