Foundation Pit is just pure concentrated schizo rambling, it starts off really well but I completely lost him in the latter parts of the book, after some point I genuinely had no idea what the fuck he was on about.

Platonov got new translations in my country recently. I have this at home, waiting for The Foundation Pit. All of them are accompanied by selected critical texts, soon some short stories will be published too. So no opinion but also curious, there's not much discussion about Chevengur or Platonov in general though from I gathered Chevengur is meant to be his masterpiece.

I can't imagine reading it in anything but the original language. That's like 2/3 of the fun.

Pretty sure you can translate it into other Slavic languages, they are all similar
