Sidetracked: Exile in Hollywood (Voloshin)

Author: Alexander Voloshin

ISBN: 9781589882126

Binding: paperback

Section: Poetry

With great wit and warmth, Alexander Voloshin’s Sidetracked provides unique insight into one of the major human dramas of the twentieth century: the escape of some two million refugees from the collapsing Russian Empire in the wake of the revolutions of 1917. His lively yet poignant poem follows his countrymen as they resist the Bolsheviks in Ukraine, suffer crushing defeat, and take flight—first to Europe, then to New York, and, eventually, to Los Angeles.
