Description
Russland im Jahr 2027: Das Land hat sich vom Westen abgeschottet, lebt allein vom Gas- und Ölexport, pflegt Handelskontakte nur noch mit China und wird vom "Gossudar", einem absoluten Alleinherrscher regiert. Dieser übt seine Macht mit Hilfe der Opritschniki, seiner allmächtigen Leibgarde aus, die vor keiner Bestialität zurückschreckt. Diese Opritschniki sind in roten Limousinen unterwegs, mit Hundeköpfen an den Stoßstangen und Besen am Kofferraum...

Presenting a wide variety of genres and tones, The Sugar Kremlin lays out a frightening vision of speculative mercilessness and carnivalesque political horror.
The Sugar Kremlin is the follow-up to Vladimir Sorokin's Day of the Oprichnik, taking place in the same New Medieval universe over the course of fifteen chapters that all return to the object of the title: replicas of the Moscow Kremlin made of sugar. Thousands of these creations are given...

Description
Grotesque, deconstructive, and absolutely genius, Vladimir Sorokin's short story collection “Dispatches from the District Committee” is a revelatory, offbeat portrait of Soviet life beyond the propaganda and state-sponsored realism.

9) Telluria

Telluria is set in the future, when a devastating holy war between Europe and Islam has succeeded in returning the world to the torpor and disorganization of the Middle Ages. Europe, China, and Russia have all broken up. The people of the world now live in an array of little nations that are like puzzle pieces, each cultivating its own ideology or identity, a neo-feudal world of fads and feuds, in which no one power dominates. What does, however,...

Description
"A dazzling, utterly distinctive saga from Russia's most celebrated-and most controversial-novelist. Vladimir Sorokin is one of Russia's most popular and provocative novelists. In his scabrous dystopian satire Day of the Oprichnik, American readers were introduced to his distinctive style, which combines an edgy avant-garde sensibility with a fondness for the absurd and even the grotesque-all in service of bringing out stinging truths about life in...

Series
Description
In many respects, Their Four Hearts is a book of endings and final things. Vladimir Sorokin wrote it in the year the Soviet Union collapsed and then didn't write fiction for ten years after completing it--his next book being the infamous Blue Lard, which he wrote in 1998. Without exaggerating too much, one might call it the last book of the Russian twentieth century and Blue Lard the first book of the Russian twenty-first century. It is a novel about...
