Only one narrative by Tolstaya, the idiosyncratic Plot (Siuzhet), has not been rendered into English. The rest are contained in two anthologies:

Tatyana Tolstaya, On the Golden Porch. Trans. Antonina W. Bouis. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1989.

Riddled with inaccuracies, though adept at intimating the energy and richness of Tolstayas prose, Bouiss renditions were enthusiastically reviewed. The contents are as follows:

Loves Me, Loves Me Not

Okkervil River

Sweet Shura

On the Golden Porch

Hunting the Wooly Mammoth

The Circle

A Clean Sheet

Fire and Dust

Date with a Bird

Sweet Dreams, Son

Sonya

The Fakir

Peters

Tatyana Tolstaya, Sleepwalker in a Fog. Trans. Jamey Gambrell. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1992.

Scrupulous accuracy to the original marks Gambrells English versions, which consist of the following:

Sleepwalker in a Fog

Serafim

The Moon Came Out

Night

Heavenly Flame

Most Beloved

The Poet and the Muse

Limpopo

T rue to long-standing Russian and Soviet traditions, all of Tolstayas twenty-one short stories were first published in literary journals or magazines. Her twenty-second story appeared in the migr journal Sintaksis. Na zolotom kryltse sideli (On the Golden Porch), the only collection of her prose issued in Russia, contains thirteen of her stories (identified below by an asterisk [*]). An anthology of her other narratives slated for publication never materialized, for at the galley-proof stage insuperable financial difficulties caused the publishing house to close down.

The bibliographical items that follow are listed alphabetically and confine themselves to Tolstayas fiction in Russian, omitting her many interviews, reviews, critical commentary, and satire:

Tatyana N.
Tolstayas
Fiction

O f all contemporary Russian women writers, none catapulted onto the Western cultural scene more dramatically than Tatyana Tolstaya. A comparison with Liudmila Petrushevskaias case offers an instructive insight into the rapidity with which Tolstaya became a luxury product suitable for export and elaborate foreign marketing.
