Okkervil River

There is some indie band by the same name playing these days on NPR. The swollen fool of a dj stated that the band took its name from a famous Russian short story. I then read in the Guardian that the story was by Tatyana Tolstaya. I read the story this afternoon and I truly liked it. Despite my aversion to stories I may try absorb a number of her tales ov the next day or so.
