It
is the third summer of perestroika. Barley Blair, London
publisher, receives a smuggled document from Moscow. It contains
technical information of overwhelming importance. But is it
genuine? Is the author genuine? A plant? A madman? Blair,
jazz-loving, drink-marinated, dishevelled, is hardly to the
taste of the spymasters, yet he has to be used - sent to the
Soviet Union to make contact. Katya, the Moscow intermediary, is
beautiful, thoughtful, equally sceptical of all state ideology.
Together, as the safe clichés of hostility disintegrate, they
may represent the future - an idea that is anathema to the
entrenched espionage professionals on both sides. THE RUSSIA
HOUSE: a spy story, a love story, and a fable for our time.
