A Ticket to the Stars

When this novel by a twenty-eight-year-old Moscow doctor appeared in Russia, it caused a storm of literary excitement.

Some critics attacked it for its "hateful" slang, its effervescent irreverence, its frivolity.

Still other Russian critics — representatives of the less "orthodox" wing of the literary fraternity — hailed the book for its lively realism.

American readers will find A Ticket to the Stars a singular reading experience — one that gives a surprising view of life as lived by certain young Russians today.
