Paikoitellen hauska ja paikoitellen surumielinen, kuolema on läsnä mutta myös paljon muuta. Henkilöt jäivät minulle vähän etäisiksi, ehkä en vaan jaksanut keskittyä kunnolla. ( ) The lugubrious lilt of this novella packs an unexpected thump. The kinesis of said wallop must derive from that which is difficult(if not opposed) to translate. I have been accused by family and friends alike of possessing a Slavic soul. I remain undecided about such designations, but I understood the ache at the core of this book.

August 1991. In a sweltering New York City apartment, a group of Russian émigrés gathers round the deathbed of an artist named Alik, a charismatic character beloved by them all, especially the women who take turns nursing him as he fades from this world. Their reminiscences of the dying man and of their lives in Russia are punctuated by debates and squabbles: Whom did Alik love most? Should he be baptized before he dies, as his alcoholic wife, Nina, desperately wishes, or be reconciled to the faith of his birth by a rabbi who happens to be on hand? And what will be the meaning for them of the Yeltsin putsch, which is happening across the world in their long-lost Moscow but also right before their eyes on CNN? This marvelous group of individuals inhabits the first novel by Ludmila Ulitskaya to be published in English, a book that was shortlisted for the Russian Booker Prize and has been praised wherever translated editions have appeared. Simultaneously funny and sad, lyrical in its Russian sorrow and devastatingly keen in its observation of character, The Funeral Party introduces to our shores a wonderful writer who captures, wryly and tenderly, our complex thoughts and emotions confronting life and death, love and loss, homeland and exile.
