Recommendations for best first Russian text...

[Katz, Michael R.]

I recently published the first translation of Ivan Shcheglov's The Dacha Husband (Northwestern University Press, 2009), 112 pages (http://www.nupress.northwestern.edu/titles/dacha-husband). The author was a contemporary of Chekhov's and the novella is very, very funny. I suggest you have a look at it.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Recommendations for best first Russian text...

I am teaching a double load of “Introduction to the Humanities” this semester. I am looking at my syllabus and it looks rusty and covered with over-represented “canonical” works. I am looking for nominations for “best first Russian” text to offer my class.
Requirements:
Must be readily available in English translation. Must be shorter. Hopefully will show some sense of humor.
