Travels in Siberia

About the Book

Travels in Siberia

In this astonishing new work from one of our greatest and most entertaining storytellers, Ian Frazier trains his perceptive, generous eye on Siberia. With great passion and enthusiasm, he reveals Siberia’s role in history --- its science, economics, and politics --- and tells the stories of its most famous exiles, such as Dostoyevsky, Lenin, and Stalin. At the same time, Frazier draws a unique portrait of Russia since the end of the Soviet Union, and gives a personal account of adventure among Russian friends and acquaintances. A unique, captivating, totally Frazierian take on what he calls the “amazingness” of Russia, TRAVELS IN SIBERIA is “a masterpiece of nonfiction writing --- tragic, bizarre, and funny” (San Francisco Chronicle).
