A Trip Through Post-Soviet Russia,
By
This review is from: The Taste of Dreams: An Obsession with Russia and Caviar (Hardcover)
Based on a 2003 paperback copy.
The Taste of Dreams: An Obsession with Russia and Caviar... The author may be equally obsessed with each, but she spends a lot more words on the "Russia" half of her obsession than with the "Caviar" half. It's an interesting read mostly concerned with the author's experiences in post-Soviet Russia. Caviar makes recurring cameo appearances, but it hardly deserves equal billing with Russia in the book title. I don't regret the $7 I spent on a used copy and the few days it took to work through it, but don't take the plunge here if you are looking for a 275-page treatise on sturgeon roe. Best line in the book (paraphrasing): If you are asking whether or not caviar tastes good, you are missing the point. |
