This profoundly erotic, profoundly compelling (The Los Angeles Times) account of an American students adventures in Russia is a classic revelation of her eternal qualities. The unforgettable cast of characters is led by his beautiful, capricious girlfriend and a supreme hedonist who has been called The Russian Falstaff. Submerged in the supposedly puritan countrys private devotion to food, drink, sex, and despair, the narrator, a London reviewer found, seems to catch the soul of the Soviet citizen. Feifer is possibly unique, a second London critic delighted, for having written a book with several layers of brilliance.

During an exchange year at Moscow University, the author found himself drawn from his graduate studies by newly made friends who seemed to come straight from Russian fiction. Their impact on him was so great that he abandoned academia in order write his own book about the country of heightened emotion that defies description by scholarly analysis.
