PARKER, TONY - Russian VoicesLondon: Jonathan Cape, 1991. First British Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0224030205. Only slight wear; 9.4 X 6.2 X 1.5 inches; 481 pages; "Parker spent five months in Moscow in 1990, conducting these 77 interviews with a broad cross-section of Muscovites, whom he asked about their lives and about topics ranging from religion to war. First published last year in Great Britain, the book suffers somewhat from the passage of time. Parker draws out his subjects skillfully, occasionally eliciting eloquence ("Now I feel as though I am one thousand years of age," says a Chernobyl victim), and the interviews cumulatively portray aspects of society such as sexism, the pinching of family life in small living quarters and the intense warmth of the Russian spirit.".
