About this title

Synopsis

By one of the best known and most respected contemporary Soviet writers, this consists of one long autobiographical narrative, followed by seven shorter, anecdotal ones. Soloukhin presents his vision of late twentieth century life with a mixture of wry rib-poking and unpretentious, never overly wise, seriousness. His welcoming, conversational style results in unhurried first person narratives that flow gracefully but grip the reader nevertheless."" - Guardian. ""[An] excellent writer...Soloukhin writes with equal ease about the Moscow Writers' Union and peasant Russia, orchards of tangerines or a hunting expedition in winter."" - The Times.
