The Big Green Tent: A Novel

The Big Green Tent is a sweeping epic that tells the story of three school friends who embark on a journey of heroism, folly, compromise, and hope in the Soviet dissident experience.

With rich love stories, intrigue, and a cast of dissenters and spies, this novel offers a panoramic survey of life after Stalin and a dramatic investigation into the prospects for individual integrity in a society defined by the KGB.

Each of the central characters seeks to transcend an oppressive regime through art, literature, and activism, but ultimately face-to-face with a secret police that is highly skilled at fomenting paranoia, division, and self-betrayal.

This masterpiece belongs to the tradition of Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Pasternak, and is a must-read for anyone interested in politics, love, and belief.
