That sounds like a "recommend" to me. <br /><br />Here's the <a href="http://www.openspace.ru/literature/events/details/20853" rel="nofollow">OpenSpace link</a>. (The link you pasted in is slightly truncated and leads to an item about Radiohead!) The OpenSpace story, BTW, has a link to an excerpt from Pavel Peppershtein's <i>Пражская ночь</i>, one of the books on the NatsBest long list.Lisa C.

I'm still sorting out the implications of some of the final scenes.<br /><br />I was reminded of Osipov's story when I saw his new collection ("Крик домашней птицы") included in OpenSpace.ru's list of important books in March.Jamie Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524484538967246768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932429135630556215.post-54588472205942313242011-02-04T20:25:59.794-05:002011-02-04T20:25:59.794-05:00Thanks, Jamie!

Of course the first of the Belkin nominees that I went for was Mamedov's, which immediately mentions Baku, one of my favorite places to visit. <br /><br />Happy reading!Lisa C.

Judging by the opening paragraphs, it concerns a trip to Petrozavodsk to attend an academic conference, which as it so happens is something I've done myself. What better reason to read than solipsism?Jamie Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524484538967246768noreply@blogger.com
