As anti-British sentiment grows, and patriotism comes under fire, journalist, comedian and Russian immigrant Konstantin Kisin decides to embark on a peculiar activity: to write a love letter to the West. For all of the West's failings - terrible food, cold weather, and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few - it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving coundess opportunities he would never have had otherwise. Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West - and Britain - today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world. After all, if an immigrant can't publicly profess their appreciation for this country, who can?

A simply superlative book for and about our times - exceptionally well written, nuanced, funny and wise. In my view, it is a must-read title for anyone who is serious about trying to understand the eddying currents of cultural, social and political influence buffeting and baffling people around the globe. This is a 'keeper' volume for my home bookshelves and a title I will gift to family and friends - a book that I have no doubt will caution and comfort us all for months and years to come.
