This autobiographical late-20th-century novel by Russian author Sergei Dovlatov is about a boozing writer who takes a job as a tour guide to stay afloat. The funny and observant tale, newly translated by Dovlatov's daughter, Katya Dovlatov, gets a proper welcome with Matt Taibbi, Keith Gessen, Alex Gilvarry, Anya Ulinich and Alex Halberstadt.
