Fw: Query: Russian-language edition of VN's stories
Date
Body
EDREPLY. Not so far as I know. Most of the stories are scattered throughout
the 1991 and the 1999 collected works--although there are various stoies
collected into single volumes. I don't know the two volumes you mention but
they are probably not overlapping. I order Russian books from ANNI at
anni@orc.ru Moscow and they are very helpful. Just ask them about the best
one volume collection of short stories. Best, Don
