Reader’s Ink February Book Pick: The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine

For the bleak, chilly month of February, Reader’s Ink member Emily selected The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine by Alina Bronksy. I mean, where else would we all want to mentally spend February than Russia?

Set in a Soviet apartment and narrated by an unlikeable and overbearing matriarch, we have teen pregnancy, Soviet health care, and apparently lots of raunchy wit. And well, who doesn’t secretly like a little raunchy wit?

That’s all I know, as I shall not plunge into reading the February book until February. You’ve got a week to find a copy and a month to read it—discussion begins March 1st. Or, well, whatever. We’re pretty casual. Procure a copy and read at your leisure.

I, for one, was oh so OLD SCHOOL in obtaining a copy. I went to a bookstore and bought it. IN PRINT—I’m talking paper and ink. Shocking, I know. No library, no Kindle, no high-jacking it from a friend or relative. Nope, I bought it. Fair and square. You’re welcome, dear publisher. You. Are. Welcome.
