CIRCUMSTANCES OF ENTRAPMENT
1990
Overview
Unfortunately, there is hardly any mention of [Yuli Daniel] in this novel, which is divided into five parts. In contrast, there is a searing portrait of the evil Jew, \"S. ,\" a brilliant childhood friend of [Andrei Sinyavsky]'s who grew into a classic Soviet informer - and who may have turned in both Sinyavsky and Daniel. Sinyavsky is a powerful writer with a light, phantasmagoric touch, like Bulgakov. There are some wonderful passages - the description of Moscow in March 1953, in the wake of the Soviet God's death, is masterfully rendered, and reminiscent of Yevtushenko's memoir of those days when hundreds of people were crushed to death trying to catch a glimpse of The Great [Stalin]. (\"He would have taken everyone else with him if he'd been able to,\" Sinyavsky comments). His description of Stalin as \"a sleek cat\" brings to mind Daniel's family cat, \"Lazar Moiseyevich.\" It was named after Kaganovich - Stalin's bloody henchman.
