- 616c 13y agoFriend convinced me to read it years ago. I found it very different from what I (and others who read more) say about Russian lit. It was very hard for me to even piece all together. Very good recommendation. I second it!
- Jacqued 13y agoThis. One of the very best books of the century, by an often underappreciated author. When I first read it I didn't know Bulgakov and was amazed that such an interesting and beautiful novel could exist. And yes, it is generally associated with magical realism as far as I know, although more loosely. - Adolfo Bioy Casares, a friend of Borges' and another great argentine writer. See Diary of the War of the Pig - Italo Calvino, an Italian writer whose writings you may find of interest in a smiliar (although more wondrous) vein
