dear colleagues -

so, it finally happened, and since this week, Gravity's Rainbow 
officially exists in Russian, complete with 760 pages, and seven little 
squares between episodes

it took my colleague Anastasia Gryzunova and me several years to 
complete it, and we thank all of you who could help and advice us, no 
matter how indirectly

today it appeared in the largest Russian internet bookstore Ozon: 
http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/18529078/ - that operates 
internationally, although the interface is in Russian only, alas. oh, 
and the first edition is cautious 2000 only

the first edition is glossy gray, with no misleading images on the 
cover, thank God, but the second one, planned for September, is kinda 
pop-art, here's the preview: http://fantlab.ru/edition91468 - this one 
seems to be planned as 3000, the publisher is the same but the 
department within it is different, so don't ask

while i'm not sure about the rest of TRP's novels in Russian (after the 
COL49, that is) for the texts of V. and Vineland are in different states 
of disarray, to the best of my knowledge, and i'm not aware what the 
publisher is going to do with them, i can safely say that last week i 
submitted my translation of Inherent Vice to them, so there's hope that 
it will be published some time

again, thank you all so much for making our lives more intricate,
Mx
