Alexei Remizov (1877-1957) was a Russian novelist and short-story writer known for his distinctive style inspired by medieval Russian tales. After leaving the Soviet Union in the early 1920s, he spent most of the rest of his life in Paris. His works translated into English include Sisters of the Cross (Columbia, 2017).
Antonina W. Bouis, called "one of the best translators at work today" by the Wall Street Journal, has translated over eighty works of Russian literature, including The Suitcase by Sergei Dovlatov (2011) and The Goose Fritz by Sergei Lebedev (2019).
