“The March Hare, or Notes of an Indigo Boy” is a novel about our shared Soviet past—about what life of that time looks like through the perception of a contemporary who spent part of youth and childhood across the last decades of the USSR’s existence. The novel is written with an astonishing sense of humor. In essence, it consists entirely of amusing episodes and funny stories. Yet after reading, there’s still something to think about—and even something to feel sad about.
