A look at America

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

This review refers to the Russian language edition of the book. Most books about America tend to be strongly negativistic. This one is different. As an emigre, Aksenov stands exactly at the border between an outsider and an insider -- the best place for observation. His view is deeply personal, yet honestly trying to be objective. The effort results in a good book with a fresh-eye view. I wish there were more books like this.
