For all the West's failings - terrible food, cold weather, and
questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few - it has its
upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he
experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone
wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even
the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK
that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society,
receiving countless opportunities he would never have had
otherwise. Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An
Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing
sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an
alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech,
immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need
not pervade how we feel about the West - and Britain - today, and
that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best
places to live in the world. After all, if an immigrant can't
publicly profess their appreciation for this country, who can?
