East European stories/poem collection

[Andrew Jameson]

The Russia Reader - History, Culture, Politics
Edited by Adele Barker and Bruce Grant
Duke University Press, 2010

This a massive selection of short texts, each with an explanatory
introduction.
(I love the way Lermontov is described as "dying in a gunfight with a former
military schoolmate".)

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,
