Moscow farewell

The compelling account of an American student's adventures in the Soviet Union. This "profoundly erotic, profoundly compelling" (The Los Angeles Times) account of an American student's adventures in Russia is a classic revelation of her eternal qualities. The unforgettable cast of characters is led by his beautiful, capricious girlfriend and a supreme hedonist who has been called The Russian Falstaff. Submerged in the supposedly puritan country's private devotion to food, drink, sex, and despair, the narrator, a London reviewer found, "seems to catch the soul of the Soviet citizen." "Feifer is possibly unique", a second London critic delighted, "for having written a book with several layers of brilliance."
