Books Descriptions
As Viv Groskop knows from personal experience, everything that
has ever happened to a person has already happened in the
Russian classics: from not being sure what to do with your life
(Anna?Karenina), to being hopelessly in love with someone who
doesn?t love you back (Turgenev?s A Month in the Country), or
being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov?s
work). In The Anna Karenina Fix, a sort of literary self-help
memoir, Groskop mines these and other works, as well as the
lives of their celebrated creators, and her own experiences as
a student of Russian, to answer the question ?How should you
live your life?? This is a charming and fiercely intelligent
book, a love letter to Russian literature and an exploration of
the answers these writers found to life?s questions.
