one that we've also read for the World Tour book club from Albania fits this bill perfectly because this is the Palace of Dreams. This one is very bureaucratic but bureaucratic in dealing with dreams.
The Palace of Dreams (1993)
At the heart of the Sultan's vast empire stands the mysterious Palace of Dreams. Inside, the dreams of every citizen are collected, sorted and interpreted in order to identify the 'master-dreams' that will provide the clues to the Empire's destiny and that of its Monarch. An entire nation's consciousness is thus meticulously laid bare and at the mercy of its government... The Palace of Dreams is Kadare's macabre vision of tyranny and oppression, and was banned upon publication in Albania in 1981.
