Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"As with much of Pelevin's previous fiction, Homo Zapiens grows increasingly silly as it approaches denouement, and Tatarsky mires in a conspiracy only Pelevin could cook up. Pelevin expends a great deal of energy developing this plot twist, and then topping it with even stranger ones." Denver Post

Review:

A simmering ragout of modern satire, Buddhism, and Egyptology." (The Guardian)

Review:

"Victor Pelevin is one of the funniest novelists writing today and this book is an antidote to anguished moralizing over Russia and its souls." (The New Statesman)
