A Myth of Messina by Nikolai Dejevsky
An autobiographical novel of growing up in the Russian community of Richmond, Maine. "In Dejevsky's hands, the myth assumes the colourful mantle of a new reality, reminiscent of the intellectual sharpness of Joyce's Ulysses, and the elegance and elegiac quality of Nabokov's Speak, Memory. It explores with gentle humour and sympathy the Russian émigré experience, but goes well beyond, capturing the excitement of human enquiry and discovery, the understanding of self, one's destiny and place in humanity and the universe." —Brook Horowitz, Executive Director of the International Business Leaders Forum in Russia and Trustee of Pushkin House, London
