THE YELLOW ARROW is a Russian train speeding toward a ruined bridge, a train without an end or a beginningand it makes no stops. Andrei, the mystic passenger, less and less lulled by the never-ending sound of the wheels, has begun to look for a way to get off. But life in the carriages goes on as always. This important young Russian author's first American translation garnered rave reviews.
Review:
"An enigmatic novella, whose suggestive central image strikingly encapsulates the character of post-Soviet society and, more generally, the fate of man....Imagine Herman Hesse with a robust sense of humor, and you'll have an idea of the complex emotional texture Pelevin manages to create for his story's climactic moment--a climax that daringly evokes, and does not suffer from comparison with, Tolstoy's great short novel 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich'. A brilliant parable that treats a dauntingly abstract conception with vivid specificity and clear-eyed humanity.
Kirkus, 04/01/1996
Review:"...[A] stark, snide satire of Russian ineptitude, frustration, wiliness, and cronyism....'The Yellow Arrow' effectively fuses satire and mysticism, resting somewhere between the absurd and the sublime. Set in the uncertain, chaotic world of post-Communism, Pelevin's story transcends its context, appealing to all readers as a timeless parable."
Maggie Trapp, San Francisco Review of Books, May/June 96
