Émigrés’ Dreams Dashed in Bold New Novel, Men With Red Ties, Published by Outskirts Press
New York, NY, November 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Author Nastya Polikarpova today announced the release of her novel Men With Red Ties, Diary of an Émigré, published by Outskirts Press. Polikarpova’s impressive first work details in all its sordid intimacy the power, perversion, money and lust of the elite New York strip club scene and its often tragic effect on young foreign women with no other skills with which to make a living.
Alina, Alexa and Lena are three young émigrés newly arrived in the big Apple. While trying to pursue the Romantic dream they have had of life in the New World, they find themselves yearning for home as the decadent life of glitter and greed they have entered begins slowly to swallow their dreams as well as their souls.
By night they strive to create the sensuous illusions that will satisfy the boredom, unhappiness and equally broken dreams of the men they serve. By day they struggle to regain their identity and to find a more normal life for themselves as immigrants struggling to survive in a city that harbors every human distortion.
“The windows of this taxi and I have something in common,” one of the girls realizes one day. “We are breathed on by strangers, covered by countless dirty fingers, stained by coffee, oil and grease. It wears the poor window out, an exhaustion that the car wash cannot wash away.”
The lives of these complex, but vulnerable women sometimes contain joy, but much more often become tragic as their dreams are devoured in the corrupt underbelly of this city.
Overconfident, but foolish, they find themselves slowly turning into predatory vixens as they ignore the one lesson that Polikarpova’s fascinating novel unflinchingly points out: arrogance, and arrogance alone, puts an insurmountable barrier between a woman and a man.
Men With Red Ties is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks for a maximum trade discount in quantities of ten or more.
