Vladimir M

Bestselling author Robert Littell brilliantly portrays the life and times of the Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky in a gripping new novel. In March 1953, four women meet in Room 408 of Moscow's deluxe Hotel Metropol. They have gathered to reminisce about Vladimir Mayakovsky, the poet who in death had become a national idol of Soviet Russia. In life, however, he was a much more complicated figure. An impressive novel that brings life to the Stalinist era.
