Academic Studies Press Russian Cuisine in Exile

The essays of "Russian Cuisine in Exile" re-imagine the identities of immigrants through their engagement with Russian cuisine. Richly illustrated and beautifully produced, the book has been translated "not word for word, but smile for smile," to use the phrase of Vail and Genis's fellow migr writer Sergei Dovlatov, and features copious authoritative and occasionally amusing commentaries.
