aha! then, let me recomend you
- his short stories (i have no idea about the names for English compilations, but basically, his early stories from 1980-es and 90-es, dedicated (mostly) to the absurd life in the USSR
- 'P Generation' - novel about the nasty nature of advertising, and early days of the new Russia appearing on the ruins of USSR.
- 'Chapaev & Pustota' (I slightly remember the English translation was renamed to the 'Clay machinegun' or smth like that)
there are a lot of other great novels in his portfolio, but those 3 are the 1st to go, actually. to get acquainteed with this master.
Ok those sound very interesting i will surely check them out and read them eventually. Question, have you ever read The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn?
yes. but I read parts of this book. it is dedicated to the system of concentration camps created in USSR against the soviet citizens.
tho a book of the said author I enjoyed more, was 'The Red wheel'. or 'Lenin in Zurich' - fiction books dedicated to the Russian Revolution of 1917
Thank you so much for the recommendations!
btw, look, americans got even more funny title for the English translation: 'Buddha's little finger' :)
yikes, i disappeared for a while there. Yeah i really never understood some translations that they make for titles. Some are unbelievable.
