Synopsis
"In this hilarious, candid, and thought-provoking memoir, [Groskop] explains how she used lessons from Russian classics to understand herself better." --Gretchen Rubin, #1 New York Times -bestselling author As Viv Groskop knows from personal experience, everything that has ever happened to a person has already happened in the Russian classics: from not being sure what to do with your life ( Anna Karenina ), to being hopelessly in love with someone who doesn't love you back (Turgenev's A Month in the Country ), or being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov's work). In The Anna Karenina Fix , a sort of literary self-help memoir, Groskop mines these and other works, as well as the lives of their celebrated creators, and her own experiences as a student of Russian, to answer the question "How should you live your life?" This is a charming and fiercely intelligent book, a love letter to Russian literature, and an exploration of the answers these writers found to life's questions.
