Амеррика. Новый Свет с акцентом

It took leaving the USSR for America fifty years ago to write this wonderful book. Amerika is a country seen through the eyes of a writer raised on Russian literature and in love with American prose. In Amerika, everything is... both close and alien 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 Native American reservations. Genis 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 — "Amerika" will invite you to take another look.
