Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Victor Pelevin has been called one of Europe's "Best Young Novelists" by The New Yorker, and "the only young Russian novelist to have made in impression in the West" (Village Voice). The writers to whom he is frequently compared — Kafka, Bulgakov, Philip K. Dick, and Joseph Heller — are all deft, dark-comic fabulists, who find fuel for their lives in society's deafening protocol. Book News Annotation:An anthology of eight short stories by the critically acclaimed young
Russian novelist. The writing is colloquial and often whimsical, and
many of the stories take supernatural phenomena very much for
granted, as with the werewolves of the title story, or another in
which the protagonist discovers that everyone around him is, in fact,
asleep at all times. This sense of precarious unreality, though
humorous, offers telling insight into the state of contemporary
Russian society.
