image of the foreigner and apologies to the list

[Alexandra Smith]

My apologies to the list regards sending by mistake several messages  
instead of   one message! I had some problems with the internet  
connection and/or my computer...
Regards the image of foreigners, I think that nobody has mentioned  
Pushkin's Egyptian Nights yet, and there is a visiting German poet who  
recites Schiller's poem for the Russian audience in Karolina Pavlova's  
Double life; and Bulgakov's Master and Margarita comes to mind, too;  
Platonov Epifanskie shliuzy; Chaianov "Neobychainye, no istinnye   
prikliucheniia Grafa Fedora Mikhailovicha Buturlina", Vladimir  
Odoevsky's utopian novel "4338-j god"; Vladimir Sorokin "Goluboe  
salo"; Pelevin's story "The Tambourine of the Upper World" and in  
Pelevin's "Chapaev and Pustota" there are some Japanese businessmen;  
Daniil Granin "Prekrasnaia Ute"; Petrushevskaia Kukol'nyj roman (there  
is a Barbie doll), lots of them in Kataev's and Erenburg's  
travelogues, too...


All best,
Alexandra Smith
