A couple of comments and answers:<br /><br />@wordlily.com: People often ask me about translations, and I usually tell them that my favorite is the one that they will read and love. Translations can differ a lot, so I'd recommend comparing, if possible, and choosing whatever version you like best. <br /><br />@Kathleen: Welcome to Russian fiction! You might find some of the links on the sidebar of my blog useful -- the "greatest hits" posts might be interesting for you. The "available in translation" tag might also be helpful.<br /><br />Thanks to all of you for your interest. Enjoy your reading!Lisa C.

Two authors I've read this year both cite Russian lit as their influences -- and then this -- I think the universe is telling me something! ;)Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-53806876260556118612010-11-17T14:22:23.612-05:002010-11-17T14:22:23.612-05:00Thank you for introducing me to a new blog.

I love it when I feel like I've been able to pick the brain of someone who has an extensive knowledge of a particular genre of literature, so reading this interview was really exciting for me.
