Gain Access Vodka For Breakfast Designed By David Gurevich In Digital Copy

I HAVE ONLY STARTED BUT IT IS RIVETING, . Its fascinating . A saga of love, friendship, life, drugs, and opportunities almost lost on an exKGB company man who leads a seemingly decent immigrants life of quiet desperation in New York.


“The less people know about you, the longer you live” is the motto of Arkady Prikol the antihero of this quirky, existential thriller an aging RussianJewish émigré living an uneventful life on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Uneventful until the day he gets a phone call from a man who calls himself Timur, The man who has been dead foryears,

Once upon a time Arkady and Timur were best friends and coworkers at a topsecret place called Lab, where they designed and tested psychotropic drugs.
But soon Arkady and Timurs camaraderie ran into something greater than all the LSD in their lab, Her name was Lisa. Such triangles dont end well, Arkady keeps replaying in his mind bittersweet scenes of love, sex, and tenderness, and gradually comes to realize that their torrid romance was not what it seemed.
As Lisa broke out of the romantic mold the two friends have tried hard to keep her in, she showed her true colors, and they learned what happens when poetry mixes with political dissent in a Russian girls heart.


With his old life trying to catch up with him, Arkady goes on a lam, running from one hideout to another from the Dominican barrio to a Moldavian bordello in Riverdale and finally to a topsecurity Mafia “sanctuary” in Brooklyn.
As he runs, he keeps searching for the clues to his callers true identity, forced to dig into his longdead past where he suddenly discovers a slim possibility of a future.
If Vodka for Breakfast were set to a soundtrack, the music would flow surprisingly easy between sharp cello strings found in a car chasing scene from the likes of a Bourne Identity film, to the soft piano keys set as the background music to a favorite love story.
In his novel, David Gurevich is able to stitch together the action and drama genres to weave a story of danger and love while exploring the possibility that even after these things cease to exist, the past still does.


I picked this book because of the title, but what kept me reading was the main character, Arkady Prikol, claims that he lives a plotless life where nothing exciting happens.
However, while he proclaims this misery, the words around him suggest that he has a very interesting life indeed, Prikol is a man with a past, He receives phone calls from people he believes are dead his mother is either crazy or pretending to be crazy and he just cant seem to shake a memory of love from his youth.


His first instinct is to run from all these things, However, with his history nipping at his heels, he begins to unfold part of the past he didnt know was there, As Prikol begins to put the pieces together, he reflects on his history that has now become his present, Prikol questions what a person might need in life except for the love a good woman and the friendship of a good man.
While this question has a nice ring to it, I think Vodka for Breakfast is Gurevichs subtle way of suggesting that while a person might only need these things, perhaps a good book wouldnt hurt either.

it's ok Was utter crap! I could not finish it, ebook pdf You've missed the experience of living in the Soviet system Never mind, it will return one way or another, meanwhile read David Gurevich and be prepared.
The really fascinated me.

“The less people know about you, the longer you live”
firstly, . . I like this great quote from one of greatest novel i've read, . .
Prikols thoughts on the past memories of friendship, love, and drug use have the power to swallow up his present, His old life crashes into his new one, making our window into his average life that much more engaging, With all of that, the end appears to bring the story fullcircle, providing good closure for Gurevichs audience, Like its leading man, the novel itself is uncompromisingly bright and insightful,
Excellent book!!!

But I didn't think the storyline was bad!
