Publisher Notes
In this satirical romp through post - Soviet Russia, Womack describes a world of petty bureaucrats, shameless opportunities, and full-blown mafiosi.
Media Reviews
"A portrait of Russia devouring itself in a frenzy of primitive capitalism. Imagine '1984' as told by Alex of 'A Clockwork Orange'....Womack succeeds mightily with his gleeful, sly black humor and with inspired atmospherics, such as an aside on 'poshlia,' the Russian variety of kitsch. If you're heading to Moscow, take this instead of Fodor's."
First Line
"Let me tell you about life in our new Russia. More to the point, let me tell you about death."
