Wasn't sure what I was expecting going into this one, but was pleasantly surprised all the same. Begins with an engaging polemic that predicts the rise of Trump with startling accuracy 150+ years 8n advance. The rest is a social satire brutally sending up a certain brand of self-entitled heroism. Since Russian novels have the reputation of looking like doorstops, this one serves as a great entry point.
