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
