"A vigorous satire on the Soviet space program is combined with a thoughtful dramatization of the mixed human impulses to explore, conquer, and transcend in this memorable short novel....[T]he work of an exciting new talent..."
Kirkus, 04/01/1996
Review:"...[W]icked, clever, and poetic....[He] does not so much ridicule Soviet life as expose its chief characteristics via a ruthless lampooning of the Soviet Union's proudest accomplishment, its space program....Mr. Pelevin...has a freshly jaundiced vision of a distorted world, and in this sense his book is a noteworthy and utterly unintended product of the defunct Soviet Union's striving for grandeur."
Richard Bernstein, New York Times, 06/12/1996
