Drau,
Yes, many years ago. Along with Gulag Archipelago, A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and others. That last one is the one that made the most impact.
Read a lot of Russian/Soviet lit back then, had to, it was part of my major
Check out Bulgakov's Master and Margarita for a real treat. I've been on the street near the trolley tracks that are in the beginning of the book and in the apt bldg that is central to part of it. I had never read Faust, but there is quite a bit that you will appreciate in this work if you've read Faust. I had to take my prof's word for it at the time! Also try his Heart of A Dog (keep in mind that both of these were written "for the drawer" as in they were too satirical and too close to making the censors unhappy so were not actually expected to be published at the time.)
