Spring in Siberia, by Artem Mozgovoy is a coming-of-age-gay in Siberia novel that reads like memoir. The author is a journalist born and raised in Central Siberia at the time the Soviet Union was falling apart. As someone with a long-standing interest in Russia, and who visited Russia in 1985, the details about Russia were especially interesting to me. The writing is sensitive and perceptive, written in English rather than a translation. Ocean Vuong calls it “a capacious work of vision, courage, and thoroughness.” It deserves to have been reviewed by The New York Times, The Guardian, etcetera, but it wasn’t.
