Russian Writers View the United States

Herausgeber: Iossel, Mikhail; Parker, Jeff

Beschreibung

This collection of beautifully written and entertaining literary essays by a wide range of Russian writers--young and old, funny and somber, angry and celebratory, many being translated for the first time--offers U.S. readers a unique chance to "see ourselves as others see us," to perhaps question how the American dream stands up to the American reality, and to experience the wit and generosity of today's Russian writers.
