Nothing Funnier in Russian Lit

Zoshchenko's riffs on the middling class ring as true in today's America.

Wonderful writing

Although I have not read the whole book, the stories in it are superb. They each have their own comical sense, but behind them there is a greater meaning. They reflect so much about Communist Russia, while being still enjoyable reading. A must.
