Yes, and Khemlin is the only woman on the Booker shortlist, too... and then there are the notions of readership and the женский роман, all of which make me crazy year-round without awards lists.Lisa C.

A <a href="http://www.timeout.ru/books/event/310886/" rel="nofollow">brief piece</a> about the book on TimeOut mentioned the use of планшет to refer to the physical stage. I didn't find much in dictionaries, either, but other sites also indicate that планшет refers to the floor of the stage, the boards. Here's a <a href="http://www.tvernews.ru/news/119744/" rel="nofollow">news story</a> where the usage is clear. Lisa C.

I can't find any support for that in physical or online dictionaries; I did, however, find this in <a href="https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%88%D0%B5%D1%82" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> (for what that's worth): "Планшетные куклы — разновидность используемых в театрах кукол, которые управляются с помощью рукояток, прикрепленных к голове и к другим частям тела." Maybe related to that?Languagehathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285708503881129380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932429135630556215.post-18501070472364966782013-11-04T17:31:11.827-05:002013-11-04T17:31:11.827-05:008 of 9 on the shortlist are men...8 of 9 on the shortlist are men...tpapernyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079530415888863470noreply@blogger.com
