About

I'm a fiction writer. My first novel, YOU ARE ONE OF THEM, will be published by The Penguin Press in spring 2013. My short stories have been published in The Kenyon Review, Guernica, Bellevue Literary Review, The Pushcart Prize XXXV and elsewhere. I've lived in many cities (Moscow, London, Amsterdam, San Francisco, and Washington,D.C.) but New York is the one that feels most like home.

Russian protest music

Today NPR’s “All Things Considered” featured a segment on Russian protest music. The website has some priceless music videos.

Robert Siegel mentioned the great singer Vladimir Vysotsky during the story. Vysotsky died in 1980 (his funeral happened during the Moscow Olympic Games), but he was like the Bob Dylan of the USSR.
