I Was A Potato Oligarch: Travels And Travails In The New Rus

"A fantastic read."Loose Ends, BBC Radio 4 "I Was a Potato Oligarch is the charming, witty and utterly hilarious telling of Mole's real-life experiences in a Russia still coming to terms with capitalism and competition...Mole is a bright, resourceful guy but his most valuable traits are his biting sense of humour and a willingness to take every setback in his stride. Bearing comparison easily with the likes of David Sedaris, Mole's story makes for a wonderful read."The Sunday Business Post, 25th May 2008"Very readable and very funny" Clarissa Dickson Wright author of Spilling the Beans"Funny and perceptive, it gives a vivid and sympathetic picture of what Russians are really like, and how they manage to survive and enjoy themselves in their often chaotic country."
