Andrey Platonov

[Robert Chandler]

Dear all,

May I mention that The Harvill Press have just published one more volume of
Platonov in English: SOUL (the original is titled DZHAN, a Persian and
Turkic word whose meaning is SOUL).  The ISBN is 1-843-43038-X.  This is the
first English translation of the complete text; I am a co-translator and I
a number of leading Platonov scholars in Russian, England and the USA,
including Natalya Kornienko, Angela Livingstone, Olga Meerson and Eric
Naiman, have collaborated.  The previous translation by Joseph Barnes
(published in THE FIERCE AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD) was from a highly censored
original and is about a fifth shorter.

Harvill have also reprinted all our previous translations: THE FOUNDATION
PIT, THE RETURN and HAPPY MOSCOW.  The translations have received very
positive reviews in the TLS, SSEEJ, The Times, etc. All these works are
masterpieces.  Harvill and I will be grateful for anything any of you can do
to draw attention to them!

Best Wishes,

Robert Chandler
