Unfortunate oversight in 'Russian Short Stories from Pushkin to Buida'

[Robert Chandler]

Dear all,

I¹ve just (over 2 years after publication!) noticed a shameful oversight in
this volume.

The translation of Teffi¹s story, ŒLove¹ should be credited not, as at
present, as Œby Robert Chandler¹, but as Œby Robert Chandler with Jane
Costlow¹.

It was Jane who first drew my attention to this beautiful story.  She
generously sent me a draft translation she had once done and then gave me
carte blanche to take from it as much or as little as I wanted.  I took
quite a lot from her translation and then rewarded her generosity with
shocking forgetfulness.  And Jane was too kind even to point this out to me.

I am trying to get this corrected in future reprints.  In the meantime,
perhaps people with copies could correct it for themselves?

Thanks,

Robert
