NEW RUSSIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH
The premier showcase for contemporary Russian writing in English translation, GLAS has been discovering new writers (Pelevin, Ulitskaya, Eppel, Sorokin, Babchenko,) and rediscovering underappreciated past masters (Bulgakov, Mandelstam, Mariengof, Krzhizhanovsky, Platonov) since 1992. Based in Moscow, GLAS began as a periodic anthology of diverse writers and poets grouped around a unifying theme (e.g. revolution, fear, childhood, women's views). Later issues have focused on the work of a single author in order to give the reader a better sense of his or her overall oeuvre. With more than 100 names represented, GLAS is the most comprehensive English-language source on Russian letters today — a must for libraries, students of world literature, and all those who love good writing.
"The writing in Glas offers startling evidence that the great Russian literary tradition lives on." — AMERICAN BOOKSELLER
"GLAS gives us a sense of Russian literature in motion. If it cannot perhaps mercifully convey fully what it is like to live in Russia at present, GLAS at least gives us a taste of what it is to be a reader there." — Times Literary Supplement
"Thanks to GLAS many of the new Russian writers are now available to the Western reader." — The New Yorker
