Speak clearly into the chandelier

"This is a real-life adventure story set during and after the Cold War, starring an A to Z of British and Russian cultural and political personalities. It explores the complex question of how best to develop cultural dialogue between two widely differing and mutually antagonistic political systems." "His account of steering a subtle course between collaboration with a system which is plainly abusive of its own people as well as aggressively hostile to the West, and stalking off in a huff, will appeal to anyone interested in contemporary politics and the arts. Illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs, this memoir throws a unique spotlight on unknown corners of the intellectual battle between democracy and an ideology which once controlled a third of the globe."--BOOK JACKET.
