The Blue Lantern: Stories

Synopsis

In a recent New York Times Magazine feature article, Victor Pelevin was cited as "almost alone among his generation of Russian novelists in speaking with a voice authentically his own, and in trying to write about Russian life in its current idiom." Since the publication of this collection of stories, The Blue Lantern , Pelevin's books have been translated into many languages, and Pelevin himself has been touted as a major world writer. The Blue Lantern , winner of the Russian Little Booker Prize, gathers eight of his very best stories.
