商品簡介
This classic book of essays from the mid-1980s blends humor, nostalgia and cultural commentary with the practical problems of adjusting one's digestion and cooking habits to a new country with completely different culinary traditions. Beloved by Russians at home and across the world, "Russian Cuisine in Exile" is now available in an English edition with authoritative commentaries by specialists whose experience writing about the late Soviet period and émigré culture help them explain the complex system of literary and cultural allusions threaded throughout Vail and Genis's volume.
作者簡介
Angela Brintlinger is a professor of Russian literature and culture at Ohio State University. Thomas Feerick, a student of Russian culture, has embraced mushroom hunting as a result of this project. Both are American-born. They have searched out “native informants” with experience of emigre life to make sure they catch every nuanced allusion of this culturally saturated text.
