Russian Cuisine in Exile brings the essays of Pyotr Vail and
Alexander Genis, originally written in the mid-1980s, to an
English-speaking audience. A must-read for scholars, students and
general readers interested in Russian studies, but also for
specialists in emigre literature, mobility studies, popular
culture, and food studies. These essays-beloved by Russians in the
U.S., the Russian diaspora across the world, and in post-Soviet
Russia-narrate everyday experiences and re-imagine the identities
of immigrants through their engagement with Russian cuisine. Richly
illustrated and beautifully produced, the book has been translated
"not word for word, but smile for smile," to use the phrase of Vail
and Genis's fellow emigre writer Sergei Dovlatov. Translators
Angela Brintlinger and Thomas Feerick have supplied copious
authoritative and occasionally amusing commentaries.
