A collection of short stories that seek to question the nature of
reality. From prostitutes and engineers to, most farcically,
chickens plotting their escape from slaughter on a broiler farm,
Pelevin's protagonists throw up ideas at once bizarre, funny and
philosophical. Winner of the Russian 'Little Booker' prize for the
best new fiction by a Russian writer. (Kirkus UK)
The short stories of Victor Pelevin 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 real thing,
fiction of world class'.
