Book in Russian
“The Suitcase” is a collection of short stories by Sergei Dovlatov, written in exile and published in 1986. The book consists of stories associated with the possessions the author brought with him from the USSR when emigrating to the United States. Each item from the suitcase becomes the premise for a story about the author’s life in the Soviet Union, his work, encounters with various people, and the absurd situations characteristic of Soviet reality. The work is distinguished by Dovlatov’s signature humor, irony, and keen observations of human nature.
