Description: "After her first sexual experience in a perestroika-era Russian backwater creates a scandal, Lizka is forced to flee the malicious gossip. In a nearby town, she embarks on a series of relationships with increasingly eclectic men - an unrepentant gambler, a Party official, a war veteran who lost his future in the south, a handsome trolley-bus driver whom she marries and leaves for a struggling young poet. The inheritor of Gogol's wit and irony, Alexander Ikonnikov in Lizka and Her Men gives us a kaleidoscope of Russian society today, warts and all."--BOOK JACKET.
