Sergei Dovlatov — The Donkey Must Be Thin
"We want to send you on a business trip. We have two destinations – New York and Syktyvkar. Your choice. Which do you prefer?"
"Syktyvkar," John Smith replied without hesitation.
The director was slightly surprised.
"I mean, I understand that Syktyvkar is, of course, your ideal location," he said, "but then again, America, palm trees, parrots…"
"What haven't I seen there?" the intelligence officer said. "I'll go to Syktyvkar."
