Die Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit Viktor Pelevins Roman Capaev i Pustota und ruckt dabei die literarischen Verfahren des Autors, die seinen Schreibstil charakterisieren, in den Mittelpunkt der Analyse. Auf der inhaltlichen Ebene des Romans wird die das Bewusstsein krank machende Wirkung der Medien aufgezeigt. In der asthetischen Form des Romans werden dagegen Strategien des Buddhismus verwirklicht, die als heilende Gegenmassnahme verstanden werden koennen. Methodisch geht die Arbeit zunachst werkimmanent vor und greift dabei auf die kommunikationstheoretisch fundierte Narratologie zuruck. Abschliessend wird der Roman im Ganzen als "literar-buddhistisch gepragter Antimedienroman" charakterisiert.
