The language of the novel tends toward simple English, with few foreign words and phrases despite the foreign locales in some of the settings. Oswald desires to become a Russian citizen, but there are no Russian words in the text except those known universally to all English readers. Oswald is stationed in Japan for a short time in the text, but again no foreign words are used, despite this setting.
