Description

The Suitcase by Sergei Dovlatov is a humorous and poignant novel about the power of memories and objects to shape our lives. A battered suitcase, left untouched for years, becomes a catalyst for a riotous and nostalgic journey through the author's past. As Dovlatov opens the suitcase, the items inside spring to life, each one evoking a story from his past - a poplin shirt recalling courtship and marriage, a pair of boots conjuring up the end of an official banquet. The novel is imbued with a comic nostalgia and dark-edged humour, revealing Dovlatov's characteristic power of observation. This is a profoundly human and ironic novel that explores the complexities of memory and identity through the lens of everyday objects.
