Monkey Time
Philip Nikolayev. Wave Books, $14 (100pp) ISBN 978-0-9703672-9-7
From ""My Aeroflot"" (""I no prob make myself understand"") to ""Cabbies, Cafes, Capek"" (""keepbacks, kepis, kibbehs""), the stand-up improvisations of Monkey Time comprise Philip Nikolayev's version of The Russian Debutante's Handbook, where the speaker's declaiming of earnestly hilarious verses may keep him from the best parties, but whose ""acacias in Moldova remember us as we were.""
