Andrey Kurkov's The Case of the General's Thumb is just out in the US from Melville House -- see their publicity page, or that at Vintage (UK), or get your copy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk; I don't have a copy yet, but I hope to be able to get to it soon.
He's doing a couple of US events -- of which the most interesting-sounding is his lecture, The Ukraine as a Novel with Strong Plot and Weak Characters, tomorrow (23 February) at noon at the International Affairs Building, Columbia University.
