Flashbacks: Icons of Impermanence
Igor Karmiloff
These memoirs cover the author's first fourty eventful years in China, the USA, Latin America, and Europe. Boyhood and adolescence in Shanghai--within a mixed White Russian and British colonial environment-- has the Sino-Japanese hostilities as the background. Good fortune led to work, first with UNRRA in China, then with the United Nations Secretariat in New York as a conference interpreter with evening courses in Columbia, the New School and New York Universities. Mission assignments were filled with cultural discoveries and amorous adventures, as well as acquaintance with many news-making personalities. These events are supported by some fifty illustrations.
