It is surprising that I didn't note this one previously. This wa spurchased in Chicago a few years back and read on a snowy afternoon. It is a terrific farce. This certainly was peril of sorts, gevent the hot water Shostakovich found himself in for chord changes.

I need to track down The Twelve Chairs, which apparently is the book that came right before this.

Даже нравится чуть больше, чем 12 Стулев, потому что тут меня не так грузит безисходность... как ни странно.
