"Venedikt Yerofeev's autobiographical novel, is a remarkable piece of writing — a true monument to the Soviet Union in its decline. The novel is a mixture of high, drunken comedy & a portrait of a soul filled with wisdom and pickled in Hunter's vodka who spends his days traipsing around Moscow but has never once seen the Kremlin. With this cheerful admission we are off on a hallucinatory ride through the increasingly desperate mind of Venedikt Yerofeev."

::sigh::: Another book I am sending off without reading. I did try to read this but its frenetic style was just too much for me right now. This is a part of the world and a time period that interests me very much, so someday I hope to go back and try again. The journal entries from other readers will remind me :-)
