Biography

Paperback. Born in a surreal Moscow communal apartment where eighteen families shared one kitchen, the author grew up singing odes to Lenin, black-marketeering Juicy Fruit gum at school, and longing for a taste of the mythical West. It was a life by turns absurd, drab, naively joyous, melancholy and, finally, intolerable. This title tells her story. Num Pages: 448 pages, Illustrations (black and white). BIC Classification: 1DVUA; 3JJ; BM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 136 x 28. Weight in Grams: 312.
