Russian Disco: Tales of Everyday Lunacy on the Streets of Berlin Book

Wladimir Kaminer moved from Moscow to Berlin in a lucky wave of emigration, hoping for a better life and an apartment of his own. But he found much more: a city that was was casting a spell on artists, drifters, losers and hopeless idealists.

    Born in Moscow, Wladimir Kaminer emigrated to Berlin in the early '90s when he was 22. Russian Disco is a series of short and comic autobiographical vignettes about life among the émigrés in the explosive and extraordinary multi-cultural atmosphere of '90s Berlin. It's an exotic, vodka-fuelled millennial Goodbye to Berlin. The stories show a wonderful, innocent, deadpan economy of style reminiscent of the great humorists. [Several of his European editors make a comparison with current bestseller David Sedaris.] Kaminer manages to say a great deal without seeming to say much at all. He speaks about the offbeat personal events of his own life but captures something universal about our disjointed times.
