Feigin’s book has that sweet impact that only time and distance can provide – this ex-muscovite-turned Kentucky 'blue blood’ writes through the eyes of one voluntary displaced within a time warp of pathos and humor, and painfully ‘good time’ in the domestic land in the seventies. I’ve enjoyed every moment of this glorious freak show.”
-Steve Dalachinshy, a New York downtown poet
