Аннотация:
The worldas first Zen Buddhist paranormal romanceapublished to coincide with Halloween. One of the most progressive writers at work today, Victor Pelevinas comic inventiveness has won him comparisons to Kafka, Calvino, and Gogol, and Time has described him as a apsychedelic Nabokov for the cyberage.a In The Sacred Book of the Werewolf, a smash success in Russia and Pelevinas first novel in six years, paranormal meets transcendental with a splash of satire as A Hu-Li, a two-thousand-year-old shape-shifting werefox from ancient China meets her match in Alexander, a Wagner-addicted werewolf whoas the key figure in Russiaas Big Oil. Both a supernatural love story and an outrageously funny send-up of modern Russia, this stunning and ingenious work of the imagination is the sharpest novel to date from Russiaas most gifted literary malcontent.
