Reviews
Praise for Pushkin Hills "Broke and divorced, Boris has taken a job as a tour-guide at the Pushkin Hills Preserve, where he immediately goes about hilariously ridiculing the visitors and staff who so revere Pushkin. Dovlatov's short novel begins as a comedy but, rife with pathos, progresses toward a moving final act." -- Publisher's Weekly , a Best Book of 2014 "This is a most satisfying read that sustains its humor and emotional resonance." -- Publisher's Weekly "The descent of the drunkard in Pushkin Hills, from qualified hope to utter despair, is arguably one of Dovlatov's greatest contributions to Russian literature." -- New York Review of Books "The preserve in "Pushkin Hills" works as kind of a microcosm of Russian life and politics - in which one's dedication to love of country is constantly being tested. Dovlatov recognizes that this sense of surreal political paranoia does have a humorous element..." -- Christian Science Monitor "Narrated in the first person, Alikhanov's hilarious observations of the community and people around him ("He was too lazy to put on a hat. He simply laid it on top of his head"), his alcoholic misadventures, and especially his ridicule of the Pushkin Hills Preserve tourists propel this comic but trenchant story. . .A most satisfying read that sustains its humor and emotional resonance."-- Publishers Weekly "A black comedy of eyes-wide-open excess [...] and a fine rumination on being Russian, besides." -- Kirkus Reviews "This is a most satisfying read that sustains its humor and emotional resonance." -- Publisher's Weekly

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
