Later that night when I got back Yuri had his private stash of Kentucky Whiskey. We had a long discussion and decided to go to City Lights Bookstore. Yuri said that in order to stay out of the Russian Army he said he was a beatnik and this was enough for serious psycho analysis. Going on a hunger strike did not work in Russia because it meant you were physically and mentally well enough to work. His parents thought it was the friends he was hanging out with. Choosing the life of an artist proved mental instability. His grandfather had already taken him to an analyst who said it was not the friends Yuri had met, but that similar people searched each other out. It is like fishermen recognizing each other on the sea
