That passage is brilliant. Gennady's emotions remind me v. strongly of my Polish relatives' when we visited them back in the 1970s and early 1980s -- especially their emotions in response to me, as I see in retrospect, because I was young enough to behave with tactless, innocent bountifulness. Damn, this book is going to be a knockout.
