From Library Journal:
At an international writers' conference, British novelist Thomas meets with his old friends Victor Surkov, Sergei Rozanov, and Masha Barash to relive amorous adventures, recount Freudian dreams, and "lie together," as the punning title has it. This is Thomas's second try at a conclusion to the complex "Russian Nights" sequence of novels (after the eminently forgettable Summit , LJ 1/88). Ararat , the first novel in the series, was inspired by the defeat of the Polish Solidarity movement in 1981 and reflects the secretive samizdat mentality of the period. Lying Together, a novel of confessions, revelations, and disclosures, is clearly a response to the openness of the glasnost era. Appropriately, it is the only book in the series in which Thomas himself appears as a character. A challenging but enjoyable work on a timely theme. Recommended. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 3/15/90.

Writer-narrator Don Thomas and three Russian friends meet at a writers' conference to collaborate on a novel; equal time is devoted to the writers' exploits and to their improvised, sexually graphic tale . "The novel in the reader's hands is as aimless and faltering as the fictional one," said PW of this conclusion to a quintet that began with Ararat.
