Reading notes
- The Only Remedy §2 Krasnoyarsk
A city in central Siberia, historically a destination for convicts and exiles; the joke is that all nine dismissed cashiers, presumably convicted and exiled there, keep up polite correspondence with their former employer.
- Whining (A Letter from Far Away) §2 a little nearer Krasnoyarsk
Krasnoyarsk, a city in central Siberia on the Yenisei River, was a standard administrative center for the exile system; the narrator's move to a village nearby situates his sentence within the ordinary geography of Siberian exile rather than the remoter katorga camps further east.
