Translation of The Kreutzer Sonata

[David Powelstock]

Dear Michael,

That is very exciting news. I'm a big fan of your *Notes from the
UG*translation, so I look forward to your "Kreutzer" translation. It's
such a
a fascinating text, even though the Tolstoi of "Kreutzer" is my least
favorite Tolstoi. To explain my aversion in the terms prevalent in San
Francisco in the 1990s, "Kreutzer" is appallingly "sex-negative."

Cheers,
David
