“[Alexander] Ikonnikov has a light touch . . . Lizka triumphs thanks to her charm: the same goes for this book.”—Metro

About the Author:
Alexander Ikonnikov was born in 1974 in Urshum near Kirov on Lake Viatka. Having finished his German studies, Ikonnikov became an English teacher without knowing a word of English, and after a 2-year stint in the snow covered wasteland of Bystritza he returned to Kirov to become a journalist. He now writes full-time.
Review:
'This sparkling, outlandish book is warmed through with vodka, memorable characters, poetry, humour and wisdom. It is as much a sharp observation of Russia at the time of perestroika as of the pragmatic Lizka's emotional development'--Guardian 'Alexander Ikonnikov certainly has a light touch... Lizka triumphs thanks to her charm: the same goes for this book'--Metro '[A] fascinating tapestry of Soviet life... Ikonnikov's style is searing, and never less than tender'--Big Issue
