Buddha's Little Finger | Victor Pelevin

3 posts | 6 read | 8 to read

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.

Buddha's Little Finger | Victor Pelevin

so-so

#readaroundtheworld #russia Not exactly a Christmas Holiday read, this absurdist book weaves multiple story lines that share one Main Character in a discussion about the concept of “nothingness” and where the conscious exists in this paradigm. Lots of western and eastern philosophy but also delightfully absurd tales of a mash up of cultures and time frames. Worth the read but I suspect I was not the intended audience. #1001
