Autobiographical prison novel. KGB caught her and sent her to the camps for writing illegal poems. This is something of a spiritual sequel to Solzhenitzyn, but her style is more intimate and playful, and that's why I enjoyed this more than most works I've read from the mentioned.

To be honest, this novel probably had something to say about Russia and Putin, but it's a mess nevertheless.

This book is like a fever dream where extreme and over the top violence and gore feels just as normal and everyday business as the regular western tropes do. What a great novel.

Not as bad as they say, but very mediocre. I think the director said in an interview that the story really is inspired by his personal experience of being an immigrant in a foreign country and meeting his wife. Most people aren't familiar with this kind of situation, which is probably why this film isn't doing that well in the box office.
