The Foundation Pit by Andrey Platonov

5.0

One of my favouirtes of all time. Probably most unique prose ever. Actually, its prose is 90% of my enjoyment of the novel. Plot isn't that good, and characters, while fun and interesting, are not masterpieces. The prose, though!..
Untranslateable. Read it in russian, and before that you should probably read something from a Soviet author, approved by the party. "Strogovs" or "Strogov Family" is a good one.
