Vitali Vitaliev is the Ukranian-born cultural commentator and journalist whose life has been spent exploring the curious, the unusual and the plain dotty manifestations of human life around the world. The author of cult classics such as "Dreams on Hitler's Couch" and "Border's Up", Vitaliev has a wry take on the human species as it goes about its daily life. But he is also an imaginative and thoughtful artist, whose perspective has been shaped by his experience growing up in the Soviet Union, from which he was eventually expelled. "Life As A Literary Device" is both a summation and a new beginning for Vitaliev - an analysis of how literature has bound his life, and an exploration of how to survive in the modern world.
