New Russian Inspired Literary Collection Is Wonderfully Woven and Truly Entertaining

Jan. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- New Russian Inspired Literary Collection Is Wonderfully Woven and Truly Entertaining

Author, Mishka Zakharin is pleased to announce the release of his new book, The Green Lamp. This new work is a collection of carefully crafted Russian-inspired novellas, plays, poetry, and short stories infused with humor.

The Green Lamp—its title inspired by a 19th Century, Russian literary journal of the same name—brings to light a wonderfully insightful collection of what can only be categorized as ‘Americanized Russian Lit.’

Motivated by his love of Russian literature, Zakharin has blended tone and content from some of Russia’s greatest writers with his own enigmatic and often absurd humor, indicating influences from other motivational sources such as Steve Martin or Monty Python. Including parodies of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina and Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, The Green Lamp shines forth with Zakharin’s clever—and sometimes disturbing—wit and wisdom, and his unique perspectives on life and literature.
