A tumour the size of a fist sits on the neck of a Party personnel officer who built his career filing denunciations, and the next bed along holds an exile he would once have signed away without looking up. The cancer wing, number thirteen, in a clinic out in Soviet Central Asia, does not care which of them was right.
A man dies from a tumour, so how can a country survive with growths like labour camps and exiles?
