“As strange as this may sound, I very seldom read fiction. Because my novels require so much research, almost everything I read is non - fiction - histories, biographies, translations of ancient texts.” MaySoundFictionNovelStrangeResearchAncientBiographiesTranslationsNon Fiction Author:Dan Brown
“In the years since The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin, Voinovich has sharpened his satire, and Monumental Propaganda is a novel that slashes and rips -- but not on every page. He expands his narrative to accommodate shrewd philosophy and inventive portraiture, a very amusing disquisition on Soviet latrines and a number of outlandish plot developments. In his translation, Andrew Bromfield deftly shifts his tone and tools as required, remaining true to Voinovich's Vonnegut-like playfulness and appreciation of the absurd.” YearsPhilosophyNumbersNovelAdventureDevelopmentPagesToolsExtraordinaryAppreciationAbsurdNarrativePropagandaTonePlotSatireSovietTranslationsRipAmusingAccommodateAndrewPlayfulnessPortraitureOutlandish Author:Ken Kalfus
