ITS AN ACT OF MAGIC, SUCH A REVELATION, AND ONE THAT I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT."KEVIN BROCKMEIER, AUTHOR OF THE ILLUMINATIONTuesday night: vodka and dancing. Wednesday morning: posing as an expert on Pushkin at the university. Thursday night: chasing girls and more vodka. Friday morning: a hungover tour of Gorkys house.Martin, a young doctoral student of literature, comes to Moscow hoping to discover the country of Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and his beloved Chekhov. Instead, he finds a city turned on its head, where the grimmest vestiges of Soviet life exist side by side with the nonstop hedonism of the newly rich. Along with his hardliving expat friends, Martin spends less time on his studies, pursuing instead the Mysterious Russian Soul in the citys unhinged nightlife scene.In quickwitted prose recalling the neurotic openheartedness of Ben Lerner and the whiskeysour satire of Bret Easton Ellis, Back to Moscow weaves an enthralling comingofage tale of debauchery and discovery carved from the corpse of the former USSRan unforgettable and complexly crafted portrait of a chaotic metropolis storming into the twentyfirst century.
