Roaming from Tashkent to San Francisco this is the true story of one budding writer's strange encounters with the fanatics who are devoted - absurdly! melancholically! ecstatically! - to the Russian classics. Combining fresh readings of the great Russians from Gogol to Goncharov with the sad and funny stories of the lives they continue to influence The Possessed introduces a brilliant and distinctive new voice: comic humane charming poignant and completely and unpretentiously full of an infectious love for literature.
