Katya Katya Katya

I read Paul Greenberg’s first book Leav­ing Katya, after hear­ing an inter­view with Bruce Geller­man on WBUR, and I was so very pleased. The least I can do is rec­om­mend it to anyone who’s gone through a ‘Russian phase’.

And, I sus­pect the author is a web-​savvy guy, cause he found me, and sent me this e-mail:

Dear Ned,
Thought you might be inter­ested in these upcom­ing Leav­ing Katya events.

Paul Green­berg will be doing a series of read­ings from his Russ­ian Amer­i­can love story LEAV­ING KATYA in the Boston area coming up in April. Car­olyn See in The Wash­ing­ton Post called LEAV­ING KATYA “A ter­ri­bly funny novel.” The New York Times wrote that in LEAV­ING KATYA , “Greenberg, comic and know­ing, has done a rare thing supremely well.” Bruce Geller­man of WBUR’s Here and Now said, “The writ­ing in LEAV­ING KATYA is rich, funny and forceful” while Vogue Mag­a­zine wrote “this tale will res­onate with anyone whose infat­u­a­tion with an exotic person or place has revealed dis­sat­is­fac­tions that lie a little closer to home.”

Exact details for the read­ings are as fol­lows:
