The Life of InsectsPelevin, Victor
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Even the most ardent Western fan of Pelevin's work... is occasionally forced to admit that some of the stuff is more inside-Kremlin than borscht belt, with references to the Twentieth Party Congress and the vague feeling that the full flavor of the Chapaev jokes requires at least a five-year plan of propaganda and Stoli to be fully appreciated....Nevertheless, the occasional worn and parochial detail should not deter a single reader from either an introduction or a return peek behind the Pelevin Curtain."
Jonathan Levi, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 06/11/2000
Review:"Pelevin has a gift for making complicated philosophical arguments feel both urgent and humane....In presenting Voyd's speculations, Pelevin comes across as a funny, intelligent writer on a take-no-prisoners satiric rampage, but at times he rampages too far and too long. He also tends to belabor some of his best conceits. What makes him admirable, however, is his genuine concern for the people who get lost in today's ideological battlefield of brand-name deodorants, Big Macs, supply-side economics, dot-com zillionaires and oddly coiffured talking heads."
