Lizok's Bookshelf has the run-down of the latest Russian book prizes -- the Национальный бестселлер (catchily shortened to 'NatsBest') shortlist and the Большая книга ('Big Book', sigh) longlist.
A couple of familiar names -- notably Pelevin, Limonov, and Gelasimov on the 'Big Book' longlist -- but still noteworthy how few of these authors really figure in any way meaningfully abroad.
