About the Book

Three short stories. 1."Run Your G-string Up The Flagpole And See If It's Perestroika." A satirical novella about the end of Communism in Russia. The uniqueness and absurdity of the historical situation is beautifully related through lovable and laughable characters, comical interactions, lively dialogues, and sarcastic descriptive passages. An exhilarating page-turner. 2. "Vofkulak." A werewolf horror story with a futuristic twist. Fascinating phantasmagoric imagery and rhythmical prose create a thrilling, but disturbing atmosphere. 3. "Crawling Through Life, Tanks." A short-lived romance between a handsome Comintern agent and a L.A. blond in the 1920's ends up in Stalin's Russia. Tragic and beautiful.
