Petropolis

獲得亞馬遜五星推薦！一部有笑有淚，既青春又家國的小說。

Sasha是一個俄國籍猶太裔的少女，父親消失好一陣子了；她是一個徹頭徹尾的邊緣人，她截至目前為止的人生，是一段有點沈重但又滑稽的一場大混亂與笑話。她對未來有些想像，她也想作些改變，但這不只需要勇氣，也需要運氣……

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 fiance 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.
