The Sacred Book of the Werewolf Paperback - 2009
by Victor Pelevin; Andrew Bromfield (Translator)
From the author who has drawn comparisons to Kafka, Gogol, and Nabokov comes this latest novel that is both a supernatural love story and a satirical portrait of modern Russia.
Summary
The world?s first Zen Buddhist paranormal romance?published to coincide with Halloween
One of the most progressive writers at work today, Victor Pelevin?s comic inventiveness has won him comparisons to Kafka, Calvino, and Gogol, and Time has described him as a ?psychedelic Nabokov for the cyberage.? In The Sacred Book of the Werewolf, a smash success in Russia and Pelevin?s first novel in six years, paranormal meets transcendental with a splash of satire as A Hu-Li, a two-thousand-year-old shape-shifting werefox from ancient China meets her match in Alexander, a Wagner-addicted werewolf who?s the key figure in Russia?s Big Oil. Both a supernatural love story and an outrageously funny send-up of modern Russia, this stunning and ingenious work of the imagination is the sharpest novel to date from Russia?s most gifted literary malcontent.
