ISBN:  9781554683819 (hc.) Description:  350 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "A unique portrait of Russia awash in change -- told through the lens of a long-standing friendship between two young men who grew up on opposing sides of the Cold War. In late 2000s, Jeff Parker went to Russia intending to write a book about the emergence, for maybe the first time in history, of a Russian middle class. In the midst of the social and financial upheaval of the years that followed, the answers Parker sought only raised more questions: What was Russia? How did people live? How could they eat kholodetz (meat jelly)? As Russia today continues to flex its muscles and isolate itself from the West, Parker looks beyond the global politics to the heart of everyday life by giving us the story of his friendship with Igor, a young barkeep and draft dodger, a man for his time and place. He is the metaphor for a Russia in crisis. A revealing story of Russian life, told with intelligence, humour and no small amount of misadventure. Jeff Parker is the author of the novel Ovenman and the short story collection The Taste of Penny. From 2000 to 2008 he was the program director for the Summer Literary Seminars in St. Petersburg, Russia. He teaches in the MFA Program for Poets and Writers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Travel memoirs.
