Sasha Goldberg is the ultimate outsider: she’s a chubby,
biracial Jewish girl from the Siberian town of Asbestos 2.
Her father takes off for the United States, and leaves
Sasha to navigate adolescence in a bleak apartment bloc
with her overbearing mother. Sasha falls in love with an
art school drop-out who lives inside a concrete pipe in the
town dump. Following her heart gets her into trouble at
home, so she flees Russia as a mail-order bride and lands
in suburban Arizona. Sasha manages to escape her Red
Lobster-loving fiancé and embarks on a misadventure-filled
journey across America in search of her father.
Anya Ulinich has crafted an unforgettable story of familial
fault lines, cross-cultural confusion, and the beguiling
allure of new beginnings. Petropolis is a funny and
poignant debut marking the arrival of a major new voice in
fiction. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
