Misha even derides America, despite his proclaimed love for it, and especially American colleges: "A surprising number of graduates," he notes, "went on to raise organic asparagus along the Oregonian coast." They "mostly have gay parties on rooftops where they reflect at length upon their quirky electronic childhoods and sometimes kiss each other on the lips and neck."

Just about sums it up. But, hey, JJ, didn't you go to a college in America? Or is the Lone Star State an exception?

From the interview:

MDM: Your compatriot Anton Chekov described the perfect eight-course meal for a journalist: “Glass of vodka, daily shchi with yesterday’s kasha; two glasses of vodka, suckling pig with horseradish; three glasses of vodka, horseradish, cayenne pepper and soy sauce; four glasses of vodka; seven bottles of beer.”

GS: That’s a nice meal. Marinated mushrooms are great with vodka, duck is good, too. Nice fatty duck. It’s a marvelous drinking culture.

Hmmm... Go back to Russia.

Yeah, that's too much. Duck and vodka. Duck goes with red wine and lots of it.

AI, you still haven't been to Café D in JP for the duck confit and the clos de los siete have you? For shame!
