Socialist Dogs
borzoi: any of a breed of large dogs developed in Russia especially for pursuing wolves that have a long silky usually white coat with darker markings —called also Russian wolfhound (via)
Don’t think I’ve ever come across the word, but encountered it twice in the past 24 hours, first in DeLillo’s Cosmopolis as the protagonist’s pets and then in Bradbury’s A Graveyard for Lunatics, the library’s copy being a Borzoi Book…
Oof! Guess the library’s not my friend then. Dirty socialists with their lending libraries…
Wait a second…Russian dogs? The anti-capitalist themes in the DeLillo?
Conspiracy! Conspiracy!
