[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Sarah,

There is one biography in English: Scatton, Linda Hart."Mikhail  
Zoshchenko: Evolution of a Writer", Cambridge University Press,  
Cambridge, 1993.

Here is a review on Ruben's 2006 ZhZl biography of Zoshchenko:

Jeremy Hicks has published his book on Zoshchenko in 2000: Mikhail  
Zoshchenko and the Poetics of Skaz, Nottingham: Astra Press, 2000.
He also translated some of Zoshchenko's stories: Mikhail Zoshchenko,  
The Galosh: Selected Short Stories, London: Angel Books, 2000  
[selection, translation, introduction and notes]. [US hardback  
edition, New York: Overlook Press, 2006; paperback 2009]. You can  
write to Jeremy: j.g.hicks at qmul.ac.uk

Sean Jinks wrote a very interesting PhD on Zoshchenko recently (his  
Phd was awarded in 2012): "Writing the unwritable : melancholia in the  
works of Mikhail Zoshchenko".
