Oh dear. I'm so careless. Arrrrgh. Mikhail Bulgakov's "Heart of A Dog". I left it in the plane! :( The airline couldn't find it. Haizzz. It belongs to one of the friends; not even mine. Double ouch.
Really enjoyed reading it. It was so my kind of book. The book was definitely not about the language. It was about metaphors and perspectives. It was a brilliant satire of the then-Soviet State on every level.
Now, I really really want to see this transposed into a play on stage. I heard that Michael Franco's production is wickedly awesome. I'm on Amazon now. I have to order a new one before she comes back to pull my ear. *gulp*
