Angelika's dacha
2009
Overview
The \"dacha\" was nothing like Dr. Zhivago's. Angelika didn't look like Pasternak's Lara, either. It was hard to say which was more kitsch: the white asbestos box or the bleached-blonde East German woman from whom we were trying to buy. This came out along with the photos: Angelika and Gunther in front of Caesar's, Bellagio, the Venetian. We sealed the deal, not realizing it included our new friend. Angelika cleaned teeth for what living she could manage. Her own smile was bright and brittle. We saw it more often than we wanted, once she started dropping in. She'd show up at midnight on her way to the local bar, or dump her son and disappear. She'd pop in on our barbecues, parade the boys past the beach on giant electric vehicles. My very Americanness, it seemed, was a lure.
