Burr by Gore Vidal is fantastic
The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov
Catch 22 by Heller
The Great Wall of China by Kafka

The film is a bit weird if you're not used to Aleksei German's style but the book is great and it is very political. Don Reba is an analogy for Lavrentiy Beria (the last head of Stalin's NKVD).

Germinal.

It's easily the most mature political novel I've read, mainly because it tries to balance both sides, and highlights the tragedy and waste of political conflict. Although Zola can't resist pushing his own point of view, he only gives it a brief mention, and puts it in the mouth of a minor character.

Sweet Beria image. I wish there was more media about this man, since his (at least alleged) actions both in the personal and political sphere are unlike any other.

I thought it was good but I wouldn't put it in "READ RIGHT NOW" territory. It's got a diverse cast of interesting characters that represent a variety of political/moral views and it's interesting to see them interact.

Particularly if you are a Dosto fan it's interesting to see him tackle this more explicitly political subject matter but I would say C+P and tBK are more "complete" works, if that makes sense.

Interest in a character like Beria doesn't imply sympathy or idolization.

Yes, I'm interested if it's not too late

Also the reason I have so much Beria is from when one of the /Leftypol/ mods was banning people for Beria posting because of all the Rape.

I don't go to those threads so I haven't seen any of these. Didn't imagine there would be art of this sort for Beria.

You are probably right, however the only context I have is tBK and Notes. Thanks, though.
