The Life of Insects (Paperback, Main)

In a crumbling Soviet Black Sea resort, a motley cast of characters exist simultaneously as humans (racketeers, mystics, drug addicts, prostitutes) and as insects. A bitter yet humorous parable of contemporary Russia. (Kirkus UK)

Set in a crumbling Soviet Black Sea resort, The Life of Insects with its motley cast of characters who exist simultaneously as human beings (racketeers, mystics, drug addicts and prostitutes) and as insects, extended the surreal comic range for which Pelevin's first novel Omon Ra was acclaimed by critics. With consummate literary skill Pelevin creates a satirical bestiary which is as realistic as it is delirious - a bitter parable of contemporary Russia, full of the probing, disenchanted comedy that makes Pelevin a vital and altogether surprising writer.
