Anyone who happened to sniff cocaine on October 24th, 1917, on the deserted and inhuman avenues of St Petersburg, knows for certain that man is not the king of creation...
Pelevin's short stories are as individual, reality-warping and endlessly inventive as his novels, moving effortlessly between different genres and moods, bursting with absurd wit and existential satire. In The Blue Lantern he brings together sex-change prostitutes, melancholy animals and a cabinful of young boys obsessed by death. Sidestepping the world we take for granted, these stories show in miniature the fantastical talent for which the Observer acclaimed Pelevin's work as 'the great thing, fiction of world class'.
