Recently read 'A Letter', which is a story from early in Red Cavalry and seems a dizzying story in a frame in a frame in a frame... quite an interesting place to go for comparison

Have requested 'Red Cavalry' from the library, but while I was searching for it, I found this online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePR-JWNxdvg My favourite line is early on when the narrator speaks of knowing 'the essence' of things. I feel like that is very much a part of 'My First Goose' - every description (of Savitsky, the Quartermaster, the Cossacks, the old woman): they all speak to their essence. I love how that gives a real sense of honesty and authenticity to the story.
