Travelling to Leningrad

 
 

"Traveling to Leningrad" depicts a young Russian émigré who writes in order to survive, an economics professor somewhat lost in existence, a Vietnamveteran converted into jazz. Here, three destinies intersect, three worlds collide with Leningradin background for the Russian lady. Traveling to Leningradis a novel about exile, a statement on the impossible marriage of cultures, a variation on the vanity and falsehood to desire to be elsewhere.

JC Lattes, 1993.
