Konstantin Kisin is a journalist, comedian, voiceover actor and social commentator. Born in the Soviet Union, where he experienced both untold wealth and grinding poverty, he moved to the UK when he was 13 years old. Now an award-winning performer, he co-presents the popular YouTube series Triggernometry alongside Francis Foster. Together, they've interviewed some of the most in-demand intellectuals of our age, such as Douglas Murray, Jordan Peterson and many others. An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West is his first book.
Kisin has written a lively and spirited book defending the society
he is grateful to have found himself in. If I can return the
compliment, we are lucky to have him.
*Telegraph*
Kisin's book [has] a powerful moral quality that ultimately makes
it worth reading
*Sunday Times*
An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West is a paean to the freedom
and dignity that many in the West take for granted. With solemnity
and irreverence, Kisin, who grew up in the Soviet Union, explains
that the loss off liberty is not imprisonment - it is horror. We
are not born valuing self-determination, free speech and open
inquiry. Each generation must relearn and fight for these values or
we will revisit the horrors of the past upon ourselves. This book
is a reminder of what's at stake.
*Peter Boghossian*
Kisin's cool, steady but urgent message, that we should value and
protect what we have, could not be more timely amid today's shrill
screams about the various 'isms' and 'phobias' of which our country
is irredeemably guilty
*spiked*
[Kisin is] a comedian by trade, but a writer by nature . . .
powerful . . . a deadly warning which somehow manages to be bright
and breezy
*Spectator*
[An] excellent book . . . both a thank-you to the country [Kisin]
now calls home and a reminder to many of his generation that they
should be careful what they wish for.
*Daily Mail*
An engaging writer with a nice line in self-deprecating wit
*Mail on Sunday*
