That brief extract takes me back to time t, when that was the type of sentence that I read every day, in nearly every book. Unfortunately by time t+5 it had become clear that no one was going to pay me to keep doing so and by the current time t+25 this type of thing has become as mystifying to me as it is to you. I've been intending to have a look at that book in any event, so thanks for the reminder (and summary).

political beliefs are for arseholes
real people have soul, heart and love - or not
the good society will not be brought about by persuation, but by insinuation and poetry, by soft words whispered to a dreaming child

Haha, a philosophy major?
Yes, and then I stretched it out for a couple more decades. Not sure why, but no regrets.

That was more fun than I expected! I would have liked to see Moscow back in the rougher 90s/00s. But only briefly.
