Queue in Russian Literature

[Anne Fisher]

There is also the description of Ostap Bender trying and failing to cut to the
front of the line at the post office at the end of _Zolotoi telenok_.
Kukryniksy illustrated it in 1968 and put Il'f, Petrov, and all three of
themselves in the illustration along with Bender. See the picture here, third
from last: http://petrov.com.ua/GoldCalf/GoldCalf.htm.

"We teach and are taught that a work of art is like a rake lying in the
dark. One who steps on it gets hit in the head, is dazzled with sudden
light, and it is the same with a brilliant work: the viewer is struck with
sudden, unexpected bliss."

- From Stanislaw Lem's _Highcastle: A Remembrance_
