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
