{"product_id":"book-cp7r","title":"Open Mic Night in Moscow","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe raucous and surprisingly poignant story of a young, Russia-obsessed American writer and comedian who embarked on a solo tour of the former Soviet Republics, never imagining that it would involve kidnappers, garbage bags of money, and encounters with the weird and wonderful from Mongolia to Tajikistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKazakhstan, Belarus, and Siberia are not the typical tourist destinations of a twenty-something, nor the places one usually goes to eat, pray, and\/or love. But the mix of imperial Russian opulence and Soviet decay, and the allure of emotionally unavailable Russian men proved strangely irresistible to comedian Audrey Murray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt age twenty-eight, while her friends were settling into corporate jobs and serious relationships, Audrey was on a one-way flight to Kazakhstan, the first leg of a nine-month solo voyage through the former USSR. A blend of memoir and offbeat travel guide (black markets in Uzbekistan: 5 stars; getting kidnapped in Turkmenistan: 1 star) this thoughtful, hilarious catalog of a young comedian’s adventures is also a diary of her emotional discoveries about home, love, patriotism, loneliness, and independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes surprising, often disconcerting, and always entertaining, \u003cem\u003eOpen Mic Night in Moscow\u003c\/em\u003e will inspire you to take the leap and embark on your own journey into the unknown. And, if you want to visit Chernobyl by way of an insane-asylum-themed bar in Kiev, Audrey can assure you that there’s no other guidebook out there. (She’s looked.)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49344947585328,"sku":"BDcp7r","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49344947650864,"sku":"ZEcp7r","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49344947716400,"sku":"ZMcp7r","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/cp7r-Square-cover.jpg?v=1782446580","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cp7r","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
