Graphic memoir of a Maslov's experience growing up in the Soviet Union. The artwork is beautiful and the pencil illustrations are the perfect medium for his unfortunate and bleak story.

Omg! I read a graphic novel!
I was recommended others but none of them were at the library. This looked interesting and a nice quick read. Surprisingly, I even enjoyed it.
But seriously...the author is a Russian peasant who grew up during the Soviet period and this is his life work. It's deceptively simple and dreamlike in narrative. His life is completely ordinary by Russian standards yet hard to fathom for Western people.
