Solzhenitsyn enjoying "hotel," says CIA

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is enjoying a stay at an posh Agency hotel in Eastern Europe, say sources at the CIA.

An Agency spokesperson said the author, thought missing for several months, was "just having too much fun to call home."

"He was shocked by what we had to offer," said Special Operative Anna Nimus. "He's in our water facilities nearly every day."

The hotel is part of a chain of Agency resorts spread across Eastern Europe like little islands. The resorts provide jobs for security personnel who once worked at similar attractions in the Soviet Union.

"We hope to expand to sites in the United States," Nimus said.

Solzhenitsyn himself could not be reached for comment.
