Eclectic and striving never to follow paths into ruts, the OF Blog focuses on essays, reviews, interviews, and other odds and ends that might be of interest to fans of both literary and speculative fiction. Now with a cute owl for your enjoyment.
t's been awhile since I've read this [looking at my list, http://drjbooklist.blogspot.com, I realize it's been over 11], but I do seem to remember that this story had very little or nothing to do with Stalin at all? I figured this was a throw away fan cover, kind of like those scantily clad women clutched in the arms of huge aliens.
Maybe I should go reread the Bastable trilogy so I can comment intelligently on this post, neh?

I find the notion of a novel about a robot Stalin to be beneath contempt. Who could take such a book seriously?
Exactly! Especially when it is written by an Englishman who has no concept of the Russian soul!
I really dig the sickle-fingers.

I am now going to go out and buy this book. Will probably also buy a few extra copies to give to friends. Thanks for bringing it to attention.
