Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of the Soviet Union, this narrative follows Yevgeny, a boy grappling with family expectations and his own identity. Living in a cramped apartment with a Baryshnikov-obsessed mother, a poetry-loving father, an outraged grandmother, and a talented brother, Yevgeny feels the weight of his parents' dreams for him to become a national hero. Armed only with his imagination and a pencil, he navigates the complexities of family life and personal aspirations, blending humor and heartache in a poignant coming-of-age tale.
