For some reason starting almost every important story with “Oh, but wait, I need to tell you something before I do that” got annoying and I found myself skipping paragraphs. Otherwise, great work by great author.
Skipped some sections, may be need to revisit those circular fairy tale loops at another stage in life.
read it in one go, over 24 hours, still have the tender feelings for Gogol and his relationships three days later
the first two parts were amazing. i was transported not even to the medieval exotics of Persia and Uzbekistan, but to my childhood, when fiction reading was the highest / most sought after pleasure. but the last part soaked its ends in the Atlantic turning this otherwise magical story into a blockbuster.
