...today's voices, Kanfer, a senior editor of TIME, invents some delightful ones of his own: an aging sleight-of-hand artist called the Wizard, who sets up a fake country; an oil-rich emir who produces a TV sitcom to sell his political message with reworked Borscht Belt shtick; a splendidly confused interpreter who adores women's legs and finds his paradise among the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall.
