In Reply to: in jail with Gussinsky (sp?) ;-))) posted by gnat on July 1, 2000 at 06:45:19:
***Just kidding, I'm just back from a two weeks vacation.Sounds lovely. At least someone does it. Somewhere out there there is a whole another world, where people take vacations, go to movies, have sex lives...
I recently spent some time in Japan and I guess that does qualify as some mixed time, but it is already well behind us and I have been digging since then. Harder than ever in fact. I suspect you now get your share of digging too.
***Three GREAT days in Moldova, lots of wine and such.
Never been there, been around but not there.
***Then breakthrough into mother Ukraine... in the wrong
place for russians to cross the border. Darn, a border!
Between Moldova and Ukraine, a completely new concept
for me.For the fellow Americans, this is like suddenly having Check Point Charlie on I-95 between Delaware and PA. Yes, quite a concept...
***Made it like a real spy, if only spies do it
in a company with their wife and daughter. Paid 20 bucks
to some unknown soldier..."Unknown Soldier?" You mean the one whose tomb is at the Red Square? So now he gets up occasionally and collects bucks at border crossings. I think this is as good a symbol of new times as there has ever been. How ironic... Maybe he also sells the flowers that Pioneers used to bring him.
BTW, don't mean any disrespect to the soldiers, just all that symbol stuff...
***to avoid meeting Gussinsky. :(
Who is that? I have been detached, as you can see.
***Then Zaporozhje and absolutely fantastic week on Asov Sea
near Primorsk. (Un)fortunately, no cinema or TV there so
I have nothing new for you about films. Well, I have something
for your wife about books. Here's the guy, Sergey Luk'janenko.
Mostly he writes some fiction crap. But he has also some
antiutopias which impressed me enough to recommend 'em.
Most of the titles successfully escaped my memory, here's
the one: "A train to the warm place" ("Poezd v teplyj kraj").
It's a short novel, try to find his book containing it,
most probably there will be his other similar stuff.Thanks, I will definitely mention that to her. She uses ANY excuse to call Victor Kamkin. I say: "Honey, could you get me something about Mishin?" Next day - BLAMM!! - a 100lb box is by our door, and there are volumes, volumes, volumes... plus that 100 page tiny book on Mishin... "But Honey, I thought I asked me to order something!"...
I know fully realize that the TRUE reason we set up our daughter to live separately was so she could take over her room and turn it into a Delaware filial of the Soltykov-Schedrin library. She is about out of wall space there, and I suspect I will be following my daughter soon, perhaps asking her for an asylum, so my nice office with big windows could also be used to hold thousands and thousands of mostly Russian books. Ah, yes, and those GARDENING BOOKS!!!! The constant, non-stop horror of having them all over the place, all with dozens of bookmarks in them!!! The constant anticipation of boxes and boxes of plants arriving, and me digging, and digging, and fertilizing and weeding... So on Saturdays I excape to my office, there is no one to bother me and she knows I am "working" so I am not be be disturbed... She is such sweet lady...
Any plans for visiting the New World? You can stay in that library/guest room, watch the deer from the window and melt surrounded with all those bookinist treasures. We will take you out to do some digging... on Saturday, while I am in my office "working"...
