Marina, I read this in university, oh, 16 years ago. Read it in
translation and took a stab at reading some of it in Russian (which was
my major along with French). I loved it, but the memory's gone very
dim. I only remember some pointed and funny humour and (can this be
right?) a cat in boots swinging from a chandelier. I also read Yevgeny
Zamyatin's _We_ but my memory of that is even dimmer.
