Descripción

Review “Poignant, painful, impeccably realized.”—Ayelet Waldman, author of Love and Treasure“Electrifying…beautifully renders the mysteries of love.”—Alice LaPlante, New York Times bestselling author of Turn of Mind“A Cuban stripper and a Russian orphan: Adam Pelzman mixes them up and produces a wicked, sexy and ultimately life-affirming cocktail.”—Simon Doonan, author of The Asylum"Troika is literary gold, and Adam Pelzman is a shooting star.”—Bookreporter.com“Riveting drama and sensuous prose make for an unforgettable love story.”—Kirkus Reviews“So beautiful and powerful…Pelzman’s talent and vision are formidable.”—Publishers Weekly“Troika opens in a strip club, an unlikely setting for a love story. Author Pelzman plays with reader expectations throughout his debut novel, delaying the introduction of the third member of his love triangle until deep into the book. The payoff is significant and surprising. Pelzman inhabits each of these characters with an intimate first person, and each point of view sounds authentic, as well as distinct from the others.” —Booklist“A wonderful debut novel. It’s sophisticated, mature and refreshingly novel.”—The Star-Ledger  Read more About the Author Adam Pelzman studied Russian literature at the University of Pennsylvania and received a law degree from UCLA.
