Andrey Platonov: new edition of HAPPY MOSCOW (NYRB Classics)

[Robert Chandler]

Dear all,

NYRB Classics have just brought out a new edition of HAPPY MOSCOW.  This will include a slightly revised version of the translation previously published in the UK by Harvill, together with a number of other short works closely related to HAPPY MOSCOW:
1. the short stories: 'A Sparrow's Journey', 'Moscow Violin' 
2. the film script, Father-Mother 
3. the essay 'On the First Socialist Tragedy'

The essay is one of the classic ecological texts of the last century.  The film script is witty and unlike anything else I know.  And "A Sparrow's Journey" is one of Platonov's most perfect stories.

Many SEELANGERS contributed to these translations, some in small ways, some in very big ways.  My thanks to all of you!

And please do all you can to support NYRB in their efforts to bring Platonov the recognition he deserves!!!

All the best,

Robert
