A review by jaymoran
The Flight by Gaito Gazdanov

5.0

Russian literature is something else. The blurb will tell you it's about these two characters and it's their unfortunate story, but, more often than not, it's more about the supporting cast of characters than those at the story's core. I adored Gazdanov's absurd, eccentric characters and their countless misfortunes. It was just a tragic Russian novel through and through, and it reminded me just why I love them so much.
