On Being Quoted By Russians

Jings,

My post on Iain Banks and his affect on my politcal views seems to have provoked some debate.

In Russian.

Which I don't speak.

avva speaks English and reads my journal. You could ask him to translate :->

Alternatively, Google Translate does a pretty good job.

I’ve run most of the conversation through Google Translate.

Very similar conversation to the sort of one I’d expect on your interesting links post.

I’ve punted in my own response.

If you haven't already read Spufford's Red Plenty, now might be the time. You would find it interesting, I think.

Thanks - I'll get hold of a copy.

I hope you enjoy it. I'll be interested in your comments after reading it.
