  Thank you, Bob. I think I am ready to get it now. For a long time I have been pushing it back for a fear that it was not going to live up to my expectations. That novel occupies a special place in my memory.

  Many years ago, I just got married. It didn't take my wife long to discover that I was not familiar with that work - a sin completely unforgivable for a young aspiring member of the Leningrad technical intelligencia. She set up to correct that. That summer we were spending in a tiny wagon that we rented from a circus artist - 7' by 9', bedroom, kitchen and all. That was a good summer and I still vividly remember my young and beautiful wife reading that novel to me aloud.

  I think I will take a plunge today and check the local Best Buy shelves.

    Victor,

    I think you'll like Tess, the film. Just keep in mind that Polanski, like many a good director, puts a strong authorial "stamp" on his films. (Is it apparent yet that I adore Polanski?) But in no way does he violate the novel.

    Which reminds me: Has anyone seen the musical version of Tess now playing in London? Yes, that's right, a musical Tess! I paused awhile outside the Strand where it was playing, but couldn't bring myself to buy a ticket and opted for a nice jazz club down the street instead.

      After I was born, our family of four occupied for ten years a room in a horrible communal apartment. That room was about 10' by 11' size. That, I guess, was a fair reward for both of my parents spending years in the Soviet Army defending Leningrad during the 900 day siege.

      So, two people in a wagon - that, my friend, borders on luxury...
