I'm a little surprised I hadn't read this one already, and really glad that I have it under my belt - weird and disturbing, strong New Wave vibes through a Russian/Soviet lens, astonishing that it was published 14 years before the Chernobyl disaster.

@Bookmaven I haven't, but it's on my list; it came up in a great discussion on the "Backlisted Podcast," highly recommended listening (this particular episode and the whole podcast, great reading suggestions throughout www.backlisted.fm/episodes/r2thixnpbdzycz4d0g71ekbfq0djgb)
