russian-american fiction/memoirs

[Kenneth Brostrom]

I don't think anyone has mentioned Victor Ripp's 
>From Moscow to Mainstreet: Among the Russian 
Emigrés.  I read it quite some time ago, but 
remember it as very informative.

>This fall I am teaching a new writing-based course for first-year students
>on the theme of "Russians in America; Americans in Russia."  (I've used
>"Russians" here for simplicity's sake, but I am interested in all citizens
>of Russia, and perhaps some other former Soviet republics).  I'm primarily
>interested in issues of culture shock and acculturation.
>I've found some great material (primarily recent texts), but before I
>finalize my syllabus, I'd love to hear your suggestions for 20th-21st
>century texts (short stories, memoirs, novels, films) that deal with
>Americans' experience of Russia or Russians' experience of America.  They
>need to be available in English.
>Thanks in advance!
