Sneak preview: previously unpublished letters by Viktor Shklovsky to Elsa Triolet! Welcome to the series of posts where we share excerpts from books we plan to publish this Fall. You can support us in bringing these titles to life — by helping us cover the costs of editing, translating, designing, and promoting these titles.

In the first preview — archival love letters by Viktor Shklovsky to Elsa Triolet, written between 1922 and 1970, during his exile in Berlin, and later from Moscow, spanning nearly fifty years. Previously unpublished, these letters later inspired Shklovsky’s celebrated novel “Zoo, or Letters Not about Love” (1923), and include his drawings.

More letters and expanded previews — in our Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/bcfffc132e61/press-release-manuscripts-dont-burn-fundraising-campaign-and-charity-book-auction-to-support-students-affected-by-war-or-persecution-6752801
