Alexander Solzhenitsyn

That's all I have to say about that.

But as a parallel question, what is /it/'s fascination with Russian authours?

>But as a parallel question, what is /it/'s fascination with Russian authours?
Never noticed one. I like Russian books though. They're a bit weirder and just more interesting.

OP:
Mikhail Bulgakov
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Anton Chekhov
Nikolai Gogol
Whatever Whatevervich Pushkin
Daniil Kharms
Dostoevsky

Don't bother with Tolstoy - 'Life's short, and Tolstoy isn't'

Anyone else ever read Shteyngart? I never see him mentioned here and I thought Absurdistan was halfway-decent.

Gogol was a piss of shit

/lit/ is under the impression that the more letters it takes to spell an author's name, the more important he may be.

No, you are wrong. Gogol was fucking awesome. I will admit that his writing is dense as fuck though.

Have you even TRIED looking beyond W&P and AK? If that's really you're attitude then you're missing out on a load of great literature - The Cossacks, The Kreutzer Sonata, The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Hadji Murad to name but a few.

It's a shame people read his fiction but not his other stuff. His 'infectiousness' theory of aethestics may not be right but it was interesting.

No, I haven't. No need to go capitalising words now, we're all friends here.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich is a great story. Especially love the awkwardness of the card game during the funeral.

Apologies. It just gets wearisome when people don't realise there is more to Tolstoy than just his two doorstoppers.

I've read a bit of his religious writings but, well, it's not to my taste.

Mikhail Bulgakov - Master & Magherita is an essential read for anyone, great book.

Also, a personal favorite, Novel with Cocaine, by Ageyev. This is all I can recommend from my limited experience.
