Did you finish my piece? I do say why books like quiet street don’t exist in Russia.

Yeah I guess I kind of read it as though you were being specific to "now" - But I guess nothing at all in terms of class [traitor] criticism in the past ~30 years. So there's literally nothing? That's interesting. Fiction maybe?

Generation P by Pelevin is the best book about the 90s, he is not a class traitor, but def he is satirical and detached enough

Thanks. So, I cannot find an English version of the title "Generation P" anywhere, but I did notice that it's a title of a chapter in his other book "Babylon" - is that the same thing?

It's widely available in English under the title Homo Zapiens...very good

So that's the exact same work in full? If so, thanks. I did some digging that day [I always download or buy a couple books every weekend] and it looked like there was a separate book under that title, and that a shorter chapter of the same name was incorporated into the Homo Zapiens novel.
