Ice-which recounted the escapades of a group of blond, blueeyed
homicidal fanatics, the so-called Brotherhood of Light, who
consider themselves the chosen people and the rest of humanity so
many expendable "meat machines"-was a gritty, blistering tale of
contemporary Moscow at its most unhinged and violent. Written from
the point of view of the sect, Ice now appears as the central panel
of Vladimir Sorokin's enormously ambitious and riveting Ice
Trilogy. Bro, the first section of Sorokin's chef d'oeuvre, relates
the mysterious emergence of the brotherhood in the aftermath of a
massive meteorite striking Siberia (a historical occurrence known
as the Tungus event). The story of the group's development then
unfolds at the leisurely pace and with the vivid detail of a great
nineteenth-century Russian novel. 23,000 brings the trilogy to a
wildly suspenseful close. All 23,000 members of the brotherhood
have at last been brought together and they are preparing to stage
the global destruction that will return them to their origins in
pure light. Will their vision of innocence redeemed at last
succeed? A modern myth and a myth of the modern, Ice Trilogy is a
virtuosic performance by one of Russia's boldest writers. Sorokin
demonstrates the raw power of fiction to make and unmake worlds,
not to mention the threatening unrealities that underlieu our grasp
on reality. Could it be, we come to wonder, that the Brotherhood of
Light is, finally, nothing less than the image of humanity, of us?
