I too enjoyed Gorky Park very much - both book and film - and its two sequels, Polar Star and Red Square, as well.<br /><br />It's actually a legal requirement that every story about Russia must mention birches. If authors circumvent this requirement, Vladimir Putin drops by and acts quite unpleasantly towards them.Tim Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856414700019368658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264914780516321436.post-23999188086392899132010-05-22T17:37:18.309+12:002010-05-22T17:37:18.309+12:00Enjoying the excerpts Tim - what a great idea!

Gorky Park was a book I read a while ago and loved. (I'd forgotten about it actually). <br />Thanks for the opportunity to read (for free!) your impressive prose style. (I also liked the descriptions of the birches as a natural, effective way of placing the story).Kay Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791873464409271216noreply@blogger.com
