8 Stories by the renowned Russian wizard. "A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia", is the second of Pelevin's Russian Booker Prize-winning short story collections. He searches for fuel in society's deadening protocol: * In "The Tarzan Swing," a street wanderer converses with a stranger who could be his own reflection. * "At the very start of the third semester, in one of the lectures on Marxism-Leninism, Nikita Dozakin made a remarkable discovery," begins the story "Sleep." Nikita's discovery is that everyone around him, from parents to television talk-show hosts, are actually asleep. * In "Vera Pavlova's Ninth Dream," the attendant in a public toilet finds that her researches into solipsism have dire and diabolical consequences. * In the title story, a young Muscovite, Sasha, stumbles upon a group of people in the forest who can transform themselves into wolves. Pelevin¿whom Spin called "a master absurdist, a brilliant satirist of things Soviet, but also of things human"¿carries us in "A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia" to a sublime land of black comic brilliance.
