A
PARTIAL HISTORY OF LOST CAUSES by Jennifer DuBois is the story of Aleksandr Bezetov is a former world chess champion nurtured
in the Soviet system. After
winning and later losing the world championship, he has launched a presidential
campaign against Vladimir Putin. Irina Ellison is a 30-year-old lecturer in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. Her father died
from Huntington’s disease, a process that took twenty years and robbed him
slowly of his mind. Irina, certain
she will suffer the same fate, contacts Bezetov who her Russophile father
assiduously followed.
“Hilarious and heartbreaking and a triumph of the imagination. Jennifer DuBois is too young to be this talented. I wish I were her.” -Gary Shteyngart (SUPER SAD TRUE LOVE STORY) CFR
