Victor Pelevin's novel Omon Ra has been widely praised for its
poetry and its wickedness, a novel in line with the great works of
Gogol and Bulgakov: "full of the ridiculous and the sublime," says
The Observer [London]. Omon is chosen to be trained in the Soviet
space program the fulfillment of his lifelong dream. However, he
enrolls only to encounter the terrifying absurdity of Soviet
protocol and its backward technology: a bicycle-powered moonwalker;
the outrageous Colonel Urgachin ("a kind of Sovier Dr.
Strangelove"-The New York Times); and a one-way assignment to the
moon. The New Yorker proclaimed: "Omon's adventure is like a rocket
firing off its various stages-each incident is more jolting and
propulsively absurd than the one before."
