“Six Trains of No Return collects twelve short stories and novellas that examine immigrant sagas and dislocations that are both uniquely personal and universal. These are the stories of past lives and loves, memories both fragile and unreliable, and our shared ties to larger historical narratives. …”
Author Maxim Matusevich, a professor of history at Seton Hall University and a native of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), drew upon his professional expertise and experience as an emigré to the United States in 1991 on the eve of the Soviet Union’s dissolution for these stories and novellas. Matusevich’s characters come from diverse walks of life, yet they remain unmistakably human—flawed, eccentric, and deeply relatable to anyone who has experienced historical upheaval, immigration, or the slow fading of stability.
