It is so late, but i'm incredibly energetic. Just found out that a piece of mine's to be published soon. Keep an eye out in McSweeneys for stories about fiddle players. So i'm celebrating on my own this evening, listening to the Constantines and Le Tigre and thrashing around like i'm crazy. Russians, for the most part, do not share my enthusiasms for dance parties.
nu, za vas i nami i za chort s nimi. have a wonderful night.

nyet, ya ne prochitala. O chom ona?
d.m. thomas writes a lot about russia and russian literature. my favourite novel ever is his 'ararat', which among other things is about pushkin. he actually completes pushkin's unfinished 'egyptian nights'.
'the flute player' is about a girl in a soviet (though this is never explicit) town, where she suffers various tragedies as repression eases off and then returns like the tide. i just recently finished it.
the novel that i'm currently trying to get published is for teenagers, but i'm now working on two more. one is about the obsession of biography (inspired by the likes of a.s. byatt's 'biographer's tale'). the other is about chekhov, and is linked to my PhD work.
where can i see your stuff? is it in english or russian?
