Flipping The Bird is an anthology of 30 short pieces and one screenplay —-stories of defiance and impudence in the face of injustice, both public and private. Margarita Meyendorff, the author, maintains her insouciance, a charm which helps her survive even such dire circumstances as being detained by Serbian officers during war, and as lighthearted as slipping backstage for private time with Rudolph Nureyev. Her tales always surprise and delight, and often move us with their depth of feeling. This collection is steeped in her Russian background and she serves up a zakuska of flavorful memories –all spiced with her spirit.
