The quotes strike me more and more often as a little bit insecure, like he wants to take himself out of any judging.. but ofc its him so oder so.. also reading the power plays, psychologies and activities of the characters through the lens of liberal criticism of ussr is flattening the whole text so i try to not do it

Just like the praise i heard, the characters in this are amazing. This thing he does where he is quoting the characters in his prose, like a cheeky journalist is super fun and engaging to read and also a dance of perspectives mid-sentence.

Hard switch of location, time and character. This is good stuff. Idk if it really works the other way (kind of missing the Marxism) but I would definetely recommend DE to fans of LK

Really good first chapter :))
