There, the state owns everything. The state feeds those artists who ac­ cept the system and consequently owns books, ideas and people. How does your work circulate in the Soviet Union? On tape, in the underground; that’s where forbidden books and records are handed around, under the table. But it’s a surface underground, there is no real un­ derground. The most underground thing is the Black Market, and people get together in known places where the Militia may appear in plain clothes. Often, the authorities close their eyes to it, I don’t know why. In that way, everything depends totally on their will and their decision. Do you feel accepted here, as a writer and a person? You know, from the beginning when I just came here, I felt that I came back home, right in New York at the airport I felt it was my home, although there was no reason to feel this way.
