Reviews

The Soviet Writers' Union, doling out various hats to authors according to rank, insults an adventure-story writer with a hat of the cheapest fur. ``Voinovich's deadpan humor and impeccable timing make his latest satirical look at the Soviet Union particularly engaging; the novel also somberly points out the discriminations to which Jewish intellectuals are still subjected,'' said PW.
