podkidnoy durak

[Robert Chandler]

Dear all,

This card game figures at least twice in Vasily Grossman’s last rasskazy.  A
sentence in the story ‘V Kislovodske’ begins, Легкораненые играли в
подкидного дурака, крутили любовь с пожилыми сестрами....  (Legkoranenye
igrali v podkidnogo duraka, krutili lyubov’ s pozhilymi sestrami...)

Any suggestions as to how I should translate this?  The game is not going to
be mentioned again in this particular story.

Thanks in advance — and best wishes,

Robert
