The absurd becomes the truth in these magnificent eight short stories by the contemporary postSoviet Union author. Victor Pelevin is 'the only young Russian novelist to have made an impression in the West' (Village Voice). A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia, the second of Pelevin's Russian Booker Prizewinning short story collections, continues his Sputniklike rise. The writers to whom he is frequently comparedKafka, Bulgakov, Philip K. Dick, and Joseph Hellerare all deft fabulists, who find fuel for their fires in society's deadening protocol.'At the very start of the third semester, in one of the lectures on MarxismLeninism, Nikita Dozakin made a remarkable discovery,' begins the story 'Sleep.' Nikita's discovery is that everyone around him, from parents to television talkshow hosts, is actually asleep. In 'Vera Pavlova's Ninth Dream,' the attendant in a public toilet finds that her researches into solipsism have dire and diabolical consequences. In the title story, a young Muscovite, Sasha, stumbles upon a group of people in the forest who can transform themselves into wolves. As Publishers Weekly noted, 'Pelevin's allegories are reminiscent of children's fairy tales in their fantastic depictions of worlds within worlds, solitary souls tossed helplessly among them.' Pelevinwhom Spin called 'a master absurdist, a brilliant satirist of things Soviet, but also of things human'carries us in A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia to a land of great sublimity and black comic brilliance.
