Known as the 'little Paris' of the tsarist empire, Odessa was distinctly un-Russian in manner and disposition and strikingly unlike other imperial cities. Here, the author uses stories from the popular press not only to bring old Odessa to life but also to analyze broader issues, such as the relationships between self and society.
