Dust jacket has unclipped price $16.95 with edge wear and small tears. Spine of the jacket has a one inch closed tear.

His five previous novels have been translated and published throughout Euroope This book is the first to appear in English. After a two-year stay in Moscow, Clea, ex-Trotskyite and militant vegetarian, has returned to London with her Russian husband Konstantin only to witness a complete transformation in his personality. In England his eccentricity has taken a U-turn. He is incapable of fitting into any culture, an alien at home and abroad. As the story moves from a gathering of drunken Muscovites to a bizarre mushroom-picking party on an English nuclear base, from the dire everyday existence in a Soviet communal flat to the shocking farce of sex and adultery in an English kitchen. Zinik's work deals with the duplicity of emigre existence in which two worlds, of East and West, of Past and Present, are clashing with each other.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
