Have you read There Once Was A Woman Who Tried To Kill Her Neighbor's Baby yet?
No; tell me about it?
I haven't read any of the early Bulgakov short stories (but I think I will be looking for them), but there is clearly a capacious place in the Russian soul for ghost stories.
I am feeling increasingly silly because The Master and Margarita has been one of my favorite novels since my junior year of high school and it's taken me until this past year to read any more of his work than The Fatal Eggs (1924) and Heart of a Dog (1925). There's a new translation of White Guard (1926) I need to track down; I saw a copy of A Theatrical Novel (1965) in a bookstore a few days ago. And I haven't read any of his plays.
The collection I'm reading is Notes on the Cuff & Other Stories (1991) trans. Alison Rice, originally published by Ardis. The internet tells me it's recently been reprinted by Overlook—I like the cover photo better on the edition I've got—and they're bringing out a new edition of Diaboliad & Other Stories (1990), which I'm also going to want. Oh, I would like so much not to be broke, or essentially indistinguishable from it.
