- Summary:
- A darkly comic deathbed vigil is being held for a charismatic artist on the Lower East Side of Manhattan by the men and women who love him -- who are at the same time, via CNN, watching Boris Yeltsin come to power in their homeland. The Funeral Party is the Russian emigre experience in microcosm: a wistful, boisterous, deeply moving portrait of the Russian soul in exile.
