Collecting the stories which Zinovy Zinik has written since his departure from the Soviet Union in 1975, One Way Ticket is set in the particular, and peculiar, emigre world which sprung up for a generation between their old and new homes. With the same sharpness of observation and comic gift which he revealed in The Mushroom Picker (adapted for BBC television), they are his personal testament to the uncertainties of years in which the Iron Curtain was still a barrier across which return was impossible.
