Victor Pelevin (Author)
Russian novelist Victor Pelevin is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most brilliant young writers at work today. His comic inventiveness and mind-bending talent prompted
Time magazine to proclaim him a “psychedelic Nabokov for the cyber-age.” In his third novel,
Buddha’s Little Finger, Pelevin has created an intellectually dazzling tale about identity and Russian history, as well as a spectacular elaboration of Buddhist philosophy. Moving between events of the Russian Civil War of 1919 and the thoughts of a man incarcerated in a contemporary Moscow psychiatric hospital,
Buddha’s Little Finger is a work of demonic absurdism by a writer who continues to delight and astonish.
