About Glas New Russian Writing
The premier showcase for contemporary Russian writing in English translation, Glas has been discovering new writers (Pelevin, Ulitskaya, Babchenko) and rediscovering under-appreciated past masters (Bulgakov, Platonov, Krzhizhanovsky) since 1991. Based in Moscow, Glas began as an anthology of diverse writers grouped around a unifying theme (e.g. revolution, fear, childhood, women’s views). Later issues have focused on single authors to give the reader a better sense of their work. 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.
"Glas has become almost disturbingly indispensable. The texts and voices out of Russia come through with formidable insistence. More now than ever before, precisely because hopes on their native ground are again precarious."
George Steiner
“Whilst you may well read Glas books and compilations for what they can tell you about Russia, the best reason for getting hold of them is the same love of good writing…”
Booktrust Translated Fiction
"Glas is a first-rate series, well planned and very well translated. Anyone interested in Russia and good writing should seek it out."
The Observer
"The standard of writing in Glas is high and the translations read unusually well."
The Independent on Sunday
