The Cat At the Glasnost Hotel: The Rocky Years

By William Jack

Cats, being exceptionally clever, let humans think that they control the destiny of a country.

In rocky times for Russia and the Soviet Union, cats step forward and control the vertical, control the horizontal.

As the Soviet Union splinters, and as Russia re-awakens,cats gather midnight in a crummy Leningrad courtyard, to hear tales of their heroes.

Off to the side, a tubby tabby, named simply "Koshka," dreams of becoming a wonder cat.

William Jack holds a masters degree and a doctorate from the University of Michigan, in Slavic languages and literatures, specializing in Russian literature of the twentieth century. He has studied and worked in the USSR and in Russia.
