America's only musician in the secret world of Soviet punk and rock n' roll, Joanna Stingray's memoir features interviews, photographs, and testimony from a vanished cultural landscape. Boris Grebenshchikov (Aquarium) and Viktor Tsoi (Kino) figure strongly in a quick-paced adventure story about the making of the album Red Wave, music smuggled out and produced by Stingray, later supported by Gorbachev.
