The book is basically a satire of Soviet society. Lipson has great fun dissing the cultural mores of the time. He was a professor at Harvard until his early death in the 80's due to cancer. I have met him many times; indeed, one had to meet him to get his approval to use his text. At the time in the early 70's I taught Russian in high school. Lipson's use of "rituals" is very entertaining, as are his dialogues which make fun of soviet political correctness.
