Buddha's Little Finger by Victor Pelevin

Buddha's Little Finger by Victor Pelevin

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.

Victor Pelevin, who was born in Moscow in 1962, has quickly established himself as the leading Russian novelist of his time. His work has been translated into fifteen languages, and his novels OMON RA, THE LIFE OF INSECTS, THE CLAY MACHINE-GUN, and BABYLON, as well as two collections of short stories, have all been published in English to critical acclaim.
