Аннотация:
The worl`s first Zen Buddhist paranormal romance, published to coincide with Halloween.
One of the most progressive writers at work today, Victor Pelevin`s comic inventiveness has won him comparisons to Kafka, Calvino, and Gogol, and Time has described him as a "psychedelic Nabokov for the cyberage". In The Sacred Book of the Werewolf, a smash success in Russia and Pelevin`s 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 who`s the key figure in Russia`s 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 Russia`s most gifted literary malcontent.
