THE SACRED BOOKOF THE WEREWOLF Hardback - 2008
by Pelevin, Victor
Paranormal meets transcendentalin this provocative and hilariousnovel.
Victor Pelevin has established a reputation as oneof the most brilliant writers at work today; his comicinventiveness has won him comparisons to Kafka,Calvino, and Gogol, and Time has described him as a'psychedelic Nabokov for the cyberage.' Pelevin's newnovel, his first in six years, is both a supernatural lovestory and a satirical portrait of modern Russia. It concernsthe adventures of a hardworking fifteen-year-oldMoscow prostitute named A. Huli, who in reality is atwo thousand-year-old were-fox who seduces men inorder to absorb their life force; she does this by means ofher tail, a hypnotic organ that puts men into a trance inwhich they dream they are having sex with her. A. Hulieventually comes to the attention of and falls in lovewith a high-ranking Russian intelligence officer namedAlexander, who is also a werewolf (unbeknownst toour heroine). And that is only the beginning of thefun. A huge success in Russia, this is a stunning andingenious work of the imagination, arguably Pelevin'ssharpest and most engrossing novel to date.
