East European stories/poem collection

[Melissa Frazier]

I should acknowledge that one of the editors is a former student of mine, but you might try "The Wall in My Head" (Words Without Borders Anthologies).  From their blurb:  Highlights within include seminal excerpts from the work of Milan Kundera, Peter Schneider, Ryszard Kapuściński, Vladimir Sorokin and Victor Pelevin and new work from Péter Esterházy, Andrzej Stasiuk, Muharem Bazdulj, Maxim Trudolubov, Dorota Masłowska, Uwe Tellkamp, Dan Sociu, David Zábranský, Christhard Läpple, and a host of others.

Laughable Loves by Milan Kundera is only by one author, but perhaps it would be worth considering.

Dear colleagues,

Can anybody recommend a collection (in English) of stories and poems written during the Cold-War era by authors from different Soviet bloc countries ? I need it for a special topics Liberal Studies course, in which students will have only general knowledge of European history and no familiarity with languages and cultures of the region.

Thanks a lot,
