Paperback. Condition: New. Russian Cuisine in Exile brings the essays of Pyotr Vail and Alexander Genis, originally written in the mid-1980s, to an English-speaking audience. A must-read for scholars, students and general readers interested in Russian studies, but also for specialists in émigré literature, mobility studies, popular culture, and food studies.

Translators Angela Brintlinger and Thomas Feerick have supplied copious authoritative and occasionally amusing commentaries.…
