I read just a tiny bit of him years ago and should look for something else. <br /><br />I'm glad all's going well with translation! Lisa C.

I translated a sample of something else he wrote back in the beginning of my translating days for a literary institute that eventually decided not to fund the translation. That novel is I think still untranslated (forget it's title, something related to Mt. Ararat?) and I think even unavailable in Russian, at least it was eight years ago when I worked on it. And of course Summer in Baden-Baden is such a gem of a book.<br /><br />I've owed you a response for so long I think I need to write you a whole new email! Motherhood has made me such a terrible correspondent. I did appreciate what you had to say and things are going well with MT now -- I think he trusts me and has come to understand why I ask the questions I do. Almost finished with "The Ocean Hotel", maybe you could read it when I'm done?Andrea G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932429135630556215.post-22266408756225532472013-02-03T16:28:05.262-05:002013-02-03T16:28:05.262-05:00Thanks for the comment, wordsandpeace.com!

A question: You give the author of <i>Before I Croak</i> as Anna Babiashkina, as does the Amazon page, but Russian sites give the author of Прежде чем сдохнуть as Анна Леонидова. What's the story? And what year was the Russian book published? I can only find information about the prize online.languagehathttp://www.languagehat.com/noreply@blogger.com
