My Pink Road to Russia: Tales of Amazons, Peasants, and Queers
Sonja Franeta
My Pink Road to Russia: Tales of Amazons, Peasants, & Queers presents an engaging mix of Sonja Franeta’s stories, memoir, poems, articles, & interviews. This radical lesbian from an immigrant Slavic family connects with her passion for Russia & finds out some touching as well as dangerous facts about queers in that mysterious country.
The stories range from the seeds of a queer life planted in a high school girl on the verge of coming out, to reflections on the challenges of teaching, to an article about a Siberian lesbian the author interviewed who was later murdered. Franeta shares her enthusiasm for Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva, chronicles the motivation & complexities of humanitarian trips to Kosovo & a township in South Africa, & mines her memory for unique & universal tales about her family from the former Yugoslavia.
