ENGLISH SAMPLE AVAILABLE
“Foreign agents are agents of the foreign. The foreign can get us at any moment: during a forbidden kiss by the TASS building, in the tumult of a children’s birthday party where everyone is passing around chicken pox, at a procurement meeting in the third hour of which you feel a warmth between your legs as you look at the woman who heads facilities. You can get pregnant when you’re a foreign agent, and then the question is: is your child in neutral amniotic fluid or in a foreign agent’s waters? Who might answer that question?”
