Description: stateside member of a distinguished Russian literary family presents an interesting belles-lettres blend of observations on Russian society and the works and personalities of such friends and acquaintances as Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Boris Pasternak, and Anna Akhmatova. The backdrop for Carlisle's story are visits to Moscow in the 1960s and in 1989-90, separated by 20 years when, as Solzhenitsyn's one-time representative in the West, she was forced by the KGB to become persona non grata. Carlisle skillfully evokes the atmosphere of the Moscow and Petersburg intelligentsias and the richness of their cultural life, now sadly threatened by resurgent xenophobia and anti-Semitism.
