One of the editors for my novel (i.e., I Have No Friends), Elena Kartushina has begun translating it into Russian. If you would like to read the first few chapters in Russian, you can click on the links below.
Each chapter has multiple scenes, so the chapter is formatted on separate pages here based on those scenes. In the printed book, these scenes are separated by florian printer marks (i.e., ❦ ), but they don’t include the labels and descriptions provided here. Links to subsequent chapters can be found in the left margin. You may have to click on the hamburger stack (i.e., ≡ ) to reveal the menu.
