Status Updates From Жизнь и судьба

Loving this. Chandler's Introduction duly hypes up the novel. The structure feels like a screenplay, each section introducing or continuing a perspective, sometimes linking characters in ways unclear but offering just enough light. The pace is phenomenal, the emotions raw, intricate details laying groundwork for the horrors and kindnesses to come. I laughed and felt hollowness as a character called Hitler a cannibal.
