About this audiobook
When Boris Pasternak finished his novel Dr. Zhivago in 1956, Soviet authorities refused to publish the tale of an individual’s struggle amid the Russian Revolution. A new book, The Zhivago Affair, tells the story of how Pasternak’s novel came to be published and smuggled back into the Soviet Union — with help from the CIA. Jeffrey Brown talks to co-author Peter Finn.
