*Emil Draitser* spent a decade contributing to Crocodile, the major
Party-sponsored satire magazine known for its sharp-tongued essays and
pointed cartoons. After he got in trouble for criticizing an important
Soviet official, he began weighing the heavy decision of whether to
emigrate. In this book talk about his memoir *In the Jaws of the Crocodile*,
Draitser will explore what it means to be a satirist in a country lacking
freedom of expression. He will provide a window into the lives of a
generation of artists who were allowed to poke fun, as long as they toed a
narrow, state-approved line.
