Leaving Russia: A Jewish Story is a searing account of growing up a Jewish refusenik, of a young poet’s rebellion against totalitarian culture, and of Soviet fantasies of the West during the Cold War. Shrayer’s remembrances ore set against a rich backdrop of politics, travel, and ethnic conflict on the brink of the Soviet empire’s collapse. His moving story offers generous doses of humor and tenderness, counterbalanced with longing and violence.
