Slightly off Topic The New FS Magazine and Dylan

Being a huge Bob Dylan fan I loved reading the story about him and Russian literature and Blood on the Tracks being based of Chekhov's stories. It's motivated me to start reading Russian literature, which I've not read before and yesterday I finally got around to buying Blood on the Tracks which has some of my favorite Dylan songs on it. Best of all though was finding that he has released a new cd called Tempest. Needless to say it's wonderful.

Does anyone know if FS is going to publish some of the Russian writers covered in the article?

FS has already published some Chekhov - there were volumes of short stories in the '70s and '90s. Second-hand copies should be relatively easy to get hold of.

>1 clarelouise:. Not having read the article yet, what Russian authors are mentioned? It may indicate that FS is planning to publish an anthology in the near future.

In regards to Chekhov, FS also has published the 4 volume short story set a couple years ago, which currently is not listed on the website, but I suspect might still be around if you call them up.

>1 clarelouise: I haven't read the article and I can't access it via my iPad. However, FS has published quite a few of the great works of Russian literature over the years. Some haven't been reprinted for decades though, so there is plenty of scope for them to do so. The rate at which Russian literature has been published over the last 5 years has been a definite step up from previous years.

I have listed the publications I am aware of in date order below, but if I have missed any that others spot, please feel free to fill the gaps!

In 1997 a volume of Russian Short Stories was published as part of the Classic Short Stories series, which included 21 short stories from a variety of Russian authors.

Thanks for the list. It seems I've missed out on a lot of Russian books over the years.

Vasily Grossman's Life and Fate would be an excellent addition to this list. Hint, hint, FS.

>4 Conte_Mosca:

"The Russian Gentleman" - Serghei Aksakov, 1976

>8 mailer: Good spot, thanks. I have updated the master list above. I have also added Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago (2005) which I missed.
