A memoir of coming of age and struggling to leave the USSR. Shrayer
chronicles the triumphs and humiliations of a Soviet childhood and
expresses the dreams and fears of a Jewish family that never gave
up its hopes for a better life. Narrated in the tradition of
Tolstoy's confessional trilogy and Nabokov's autobiography, this is
a searing account of the KGB's persecution of refuseniks, a poet's
rebellion against totalitarian culture, and Soviet fantasies of the
West during the Cold War.
