Gusev is a completely different kind of moonshiner. He is one of Moscow's best-known guitar makers. His underground workshop is a short walk from Red Square and is filled with pieces of elegantly curved wood from disassembled instruments. The tiny bottle of moonshine sits on a shelf not far from his tools.

But his story serves only to explain Termite’s condition, as Leavitt’s dying vision becomes the telepathic stimulus for the images Termite draws. Termite’s back story gives him a sort of religious...
