Reviews
Praise for Pushkin Hills "Broke and divorced, Boris has taken a job as a tour-guide at the Pushkin Hills Preserve, where he immediately goes about hilariously ridiculing the visitors and staff who so revere Pushkin. Dovlatov's short novel begins as a comedy but, rife with pathos, progresses toward a moving final act." -- Publisher's Weekly , a Best Book of 2014 "This is a most satisfying read that sustains its humor and emotional resonance." -- Publisher's Weekly "The descent of the drunkard in Pushkin Hills, from qualified hope to utter despair, is arguably one of Dovlatov's greatest contributions to Russian literature." -- New York Review of Books "The preserve in "Pushkin Hills" works as kind of a microcosm of Russian life and politics - in which one's dedication to love of country is constantly being tested. Dovlatov recognizes that this sense of surreal political paranoia does have a humorous element..." -- Christian Science Monitor "Narrated in the first person, Alikhanov's hilarious observations of the community and people around him ("He was too lazy to put on a hat. He simply laid it on top of his head"), his alcoholic misadventures, and especially his ridicule of the Pushkin Hills Preserve tourists propel this comic but trenchant story. . .A most satisfying read that sustains its humor and emotional resonance."-- Publishers Weekly "A black comedy of eyes-wide-open excess [...] and a fine rumination on being Russian, besides." -- Kirkus Reviews "This is a most satisfying read that sustains its humor and emotional resonance." -- Publisher's Weekly

- l***c (227)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoBook came packaged well to avoid damage, in great condition. Not sure if the seller delayed shipping or if usps didn’t update the shipping, which is highly likely. Still received and we are happy with our purchase. I had trouble looking up tracking due to the company they used but seller found usps tracking and sent that over quickly. Sellers communication was excellent. Would buy from again. Item as described.
- t***n (2901)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.
- -***6 (133)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoItem arrived as described and adequately packaged. Ridiculously long shipping time. Seller posts incorrect tracking number and lists the item as shipped. Contacted seller for correct tracking, received a new tracking number with the warning that the number won’t be “live” until the item is shipped. Will you get your item? Yeah, probably. Count on it being delivered 2-3 weeks longer than expected.
