If you would be kind enough
to put a question to a Russian 
literary agent, it might not
hurt but first I guess you would
have to have a few reviews in
electronic format to support
your claims concerning the
greatness of EJ.

Yes, that might be the reason
for _Heliopolis_ being translated
so I guess _Glass Bees_ and 
_Eumeswil_ would be most suitable.

Hoping you get an answer I am
sending my belated greetings
for the Great Turkey day. I know
you are keeping up the good
