Moscow to the End of the Line

"The comic high-water mark of the Brezhnev era." —David Remnick, Village Voice

"Linguistically, it is as intoxicating as Gogol. Erofeev's Russian is rich, expressive, multilayered: there are the crudest vulgarities next to some of the most poetic prose imaginable, and the work becomes epic." —World Literature Today

"Erofeev's delirium tremens journey is a tale of restless, hopeless alienation and yet it is soulful in the Russian manner. . . . The poignancy of Venya's follies is almost unbearable." —Elizabeth Hardwick, New Republic
