I was surprised – very pleasantly! – to learn that the National Book Critics Circle nominated A Russian Diary,(http://russianwriting.com/_wsn/page5.html ) written by journalist Anna Politkovskaya and translated by Arch Tait, for its autobiography award.
Tait’s Web site contains pages about Politkovskaya books that he translated: Russian Diary and Putin’s Russia. The Putin’s Russia page includes links to tributes to Politkovskaya, who was murdered on October 7, 2006, in her Moscow apartment building.
