If you love the absurd, linguistic humor, general weirdness, people (dead or alive) getting raped left and right, chairs requiring medical assistance, mice playing with balls of sunlight, etc. you don't know what you are missing out on when not reading pic related.
I recommend (in this exact order) his Autumn in Peking for its light anti-civ themes and general sense of impending doom, and his heartbreaking Froth on the Daydream for its anti-war stance, and his I Shall Spit on Your Graves for a story of a niggerboy killing and raping stuck up white people.
Dude had an epic death, too:

That's legit how Tudeh was, communists in Iran were always strangely aristocratic
Matthew Ramirez
I suspect they were a lot better when they had more mass support, before the Shah destroyed them. Modern Tudeh are basically Trots. And other """socialist""" Iranian groups like the MEK… well, you know what happened with them.
Trots scream and rage against the Iranian Revolution because their diminished micro-sects didn't magically take command of it. It certainly would have been more ideal if socialists had been able to lead the revolution, but it was (and is) still a massive victory, and Khomeini and Khamenei are based.

It's basically ML vanguardism in novel form, Jose Saramago was a Portuguese communist who lived most of his life under the thumb of the Novo Estado regime

I bought Roadside Picnic, written by the Strugatsky brothers, after I saw it being discussed here about a year ago, and even though it doesn't directly talk about communism I really enjoyed reading some soviet science fiction. Didn't feel the same way as western sci-fi, which really grasped my attention.
Jonathan Butler
Based. I'll have to look for this one. There's lots of anarchist fiction, but I think that's because it's easier to make up stories when you're running on idealism and utopianism than materialism. I read The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin, which was ok, but Anarchism seems to work "just because" and the USSR stand in is basically what your average "wasn't real socialism" type leftist thinks of it as.
