Reviews

"Ivan and Misha is the great American Russian Novel told as Chekhov would tell it, in stories of delicacy, humanity, and insight. From Kiev to Manhattan, Brighton Beach and Bellevue, Michael Alenyikov lays out a series of compelling arguments for brotherhood between brothers, between lovers, between men from an old country. Alenyikov confronts big subjects--illness and madness, sex and love in the age of AIDS, old and new world values, a fallen wall, the metaphysics of survival, the march of generations." --Carolyn Cooke, author of The Bostons and Daughters of the Revolution



Quite Forgotten in Brooklyn "A haunting collectionof love and duty. There ismuch to admire on every page." --Marie Myung-Ok Lee, author of Somebody's Daughter

"For the Russian immigrant twins who are the main characters of Ivan and Misha, everyday existence consists of heartbreak, love, and the unexpected. With exuberance and dark humor, Michael Alenyikov depicts their life in New York. These wonderful connected stories are full of warmth, psychological insight, and winning originality." --Alice Mattison, author of Nothing Is
