Well, I wouldn say mid-september is “end of 2024” haha, but “Sketches of the criminal world” by Varlam Shalamov left a deep impression on me. The first third is non-fiction, the other 2/3rds of the book is fiction, but inspired by Shalamovs own experience with the Russian Mob.
Very incisive and insightful, it is on of the books which leave a big impression on you long after you’ve read it. Also recommended to anyone who romantizices criminals, a phenomen which is sadly all to common in our world.
