Reviews
quotation|Russian literature has never known such a book. In Draitser's stories, America and Russia are whimsically yet inseparably intertwined. Draitser's humor is so deeply philosophical that the reader doesn't notice at times where the comedy ends and the tragedy begins.
"World Literature Today"
quotation|Draitser transforms an event into a story, and his method, which he has brought to mastery, consists in taking a situation to the point of absurdity and then making this absurdity a reality... Draitser's language is precise and expansive, his storyline is meticulously designed, his colors are rich.
