I cannot send a personal answer to each and every message I receive, though I do read all messages and try to respond to many. That said, please do not send messages to me at more than one address. Please note, too, that I do not respond to messages that
ask for personal advice, book recommendations, translation recommendations, analysis/interpretations of books or stories (including those I've translated), or information on where to purchase Russian- or English-language books
(please check sites like Amazon, WorldCat, or Goodreads for the existence of translations), nor will I answer questions about favorite authors!
Thank you.
