- W3140139770 abstract "Sergei Dovlatov's subtle, dark-edged humor and wry observations are in full force in The Suitcase as he examines eight objects--the items he brought with him in his luggage upon his emigration from U.S.S.R. These seemingly undistinguished possessions, stuffed into a worn-out suitcase, take on a riotously funny life of their own as Dovlatov inventories circumstances under which he acquired them, occasioning a brilliant series of interconnected tales: A poplin shirt evokes bittersweet story of a courtship and marriage, while a pair of boots (of kind only Nomenklatura can afford) calls up hilarious conclusion to an official banquet. Some driving gloves--remnants of Dovlatov's short-lived acting career--share space with neon-green crepe socks, reminders of a failed black-market scam. And in curious juxtaposition, belt from a prison guard's uniform lies next to a stained jacket that once belonged to Fernand Leger. Imbued with a comic nostalgia overlaid with Dovlatov's characteristically dry wit, The Suitcase is an intensely human, delightfully ironic novel from the finest Soviet satirist to appear in English since Vladimir Voinovich." @default.
