I first heard and read an edited version of this book from "The Great Bathroom Reader Vol.whatever" that we had atmy old job. It sounded interesting enough to want to read the whole thing. Overall, not bad; the plot is very simple: a laid off Russian railworker boards a train to Moscow, and, while on it, goes on an extreme bender, which causes him to have some weird hallucinations, and conversations with other passengers. Some of these conversations are quite philosophical in nature and, at times, it can be hard to keep up with who is saying what. It is a quick read, however and, of interest to people who like: drinking, having random conversations while drunk about everything under the sun, Russian lifestyles, and philosophy.
