Imagine, if you can, James Thurber and E. B. White sharing a taxi to the airport with Alexander Solzhenitsyn. They're stuck in traffic, will most certainly miss their flights, but are spinning their yarns to each other while passing a flask of good whiskey and some snacks they purloined from the hotel mini-refrigerator. The cabby, listening intently to the raucous tales regaling from the back seat, has turned off the meter, because why not? Now you have some idea of the writing of Victor Pogostin, PhD, in his collection of stories Russian Roulette. These...personal papers...of a cold-war - and beyond - intellectual in an occasionally warm world are insightful, funny, and poignant. And all true.
