Writer and humorist Ian Frazier is the critically-accclaimed author of Great Plains, On the Rez, and Dating Your Mom, among other works. His latest book, Travels in Siberia, is the culmination of ten years of research and travel to the mythical region of Siberia. More than just a historical travelogue, Travels in Siberia is an account of Russia since the end of the Soviet Union and a personal and often humorous reflection on this vast country – exploring the geography, the people, the history, the weather, the bugs, and the unexpected. Frequent contributor to The New Yorker, Frazier lives in New Jersey with his wife and children.
