Viktor Pelevin, anyone?

[Taliesin]

Is there anyone who also likes the works of this Russian writer?
"Little Finger of Buddha"(aka "The Clay Machine-Gun")? "Omon-Ra"? "P-Generation"? "Numbers"?
Some other novel or short story written by him?

Or are we the only ones?

love the quote... I've never read any Pelevin, but I'll look around for some.

I read some of Pelevin's works. I like "The Crystal Life" , its a short novel, where Pelevin shows the world before the revolution of 1917.

Almost all of my friends love Pelevin. I've tried "P-generation" but didn't like it too much. I'm going to give Pelevin another try- even my parents enjoyed reading it

I've read Omon Ra. It was wonderful...it's the kind of book that sticks in your mind and makes you think of it at least once a week.

Those crazy Russians and their space program.

Uh....read Pelevin's "Life of Insects". Quite amusing. A rather provocative piece of writing 8) Wouldn't mind reading something else, but he is not on my must-list at the moment.

We personally liked "Chapajev and Pustota" (or "Buddha's Little Finger" or "Clay Machine Gun") and his short stories most, especially "Hermit and Sixfinger", "Onthology of Childhood", "Tambourine of the Upper World" and "Blue Lantern"
We have also read "Omon-Ra" and "P-Generation".
There is this enjoyable grotesque absurd in all his works that are both funny and sad - take "Omon-Ra" for example - on one hand it is funny and on the other hand you start suspecting whether it really wasn't something like that(for example the story about the man and his son who dressed up as bears) in the Soviet Union.
