Now I plan to read the book to see if my old age has made me any wiser.Buzbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10910617923053008744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780755.post-1145829342187207662006-04-23T17:55:00.000-04:002006-04-23T17:55:00.000-04:00Martin Cruz Smith is one of those authors that see...Martin Cruz Smith is one of those authors that seemed really complex and adult when I first knew about him. I read Gorky Park after seeing the movie, neither of which I really "got" at the time. A few years ago, my mom sent me the Arcady novel that takes place in Cuba. I quite enjoyed it, but I realized at the end that "oh yeah, this is just a pretty standard detective story, except with a russian detective." They are competently done and I like the way Arcady makes his way, battered and beaten down but surviving through all the various transformations of the Russian state. Chernobyl is really on the cultural radar this week, isn't it?OlmanFeelyushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521657876810568251noreply@blogger.com
