I actually kinda liked Everything Flows, the first half at least. The second half descends very quickly into incoherent anti-Russian/Soviet rants but the vignette about the Old Bolshevik being sent to the labor camp was very moving.
That one is a lot shorter so maybe I’ll give it a shot when I’m in a forgiving mood or want to add to my unwritten essay about how annoying it is that only “dissident” literature gets translated.
