America. The New World with an Accent

It was worth leaving the USSR for America half a century ago to write this wonderful book. America is a country seen through the eyes of a writer, educated by Russian literature and in love with American prose. In America,... everything is both close and foreign at the same time, and it is this dual focus that gives birth to a personal, poignant chronicle of discoveries — from Texas to New Jersey, from the French Quarter to Indian reservations. Genius shares America as a love story, in which delight and irony, recognition and bewilderment go hand in hand. And if you think you already know the States well — "America" will offer you a chance to take another look.
