N2  - We begin with an unemployed journalist, a writer of satirical pieces and human interest features. Looking for work, he reviews his file of clippings, where real people and events have been reduced to a few bland, officially approved lines. As he remembers each assignment, it provides material for this ruefully comic book, a series of interrelated stories featuring this same Dovlatov, of whom it is said, admiringly, that he can write vividly about any sort of nonsense--Jacket
