Summary

For half of the twentieth century, there were two,superpowers in the world and a gulf of silence,between them. When the USSR fell, Russians began,to travel to America more regularly, and what they,discovered was a place very different from the,America they'd imagined, but, also, not exactly,the one that Americans think they know. This,collection of beautifully written and entertaining,literary essays by a wide range of Russian writers,offers readers a unique chance to see America,through strangers' eyes, and to question how the,American dream stands up to the American reality.
