The Double by Fyodor Dostoevsky?

Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky! Perfect for October!

No, we read it. How about another?

I've been wanting to read The Village of Stepanchikovo by Dostoevsky. (I want to find his humourous side:) but I just can't find the book.

The heart of a dog by Bulgakov?

What about something contemporary? Slynx by Tatiana Tolstaya (descended from Tolstoy).

Sketches From A Hunter's Album by Turgenev is not marked as read on the group bookshelf and has been on my to read list a long time. I would love to finally get to it.

What about Day of the Oprichnik, by Vladimir Sorokin? People say Putin has practically used it as a blueprint. That's why it's at the top of my TBR list.

Those interested in the current situation in Russia can also read the novel "The Little Man" by Liza Alexandrova-Zorina, a new rising star in Russian literature (Glas 2014.) It's a sharp social commentary, fast moving, well written, memorable, and true-to-life.

Natasha, I've heard about The Little Man and that's a book I'd very much like to read.

Dear Anne, if you're interested in modern Russian fiction there are a number of Glas books you may find both enjoyable and informative. They are freely available from Amazon and other platforms as well as good bookshops. Do you live in America or Europe?
Thank you. Natasha
