Fairy Tale

Vladimir Sorokin wrote a new parable – wild, enchanting, and unrelenting.
 
In the novel "Fairy Tale," a bleak post-apocalyptic Russia comes to life, where garbage fields become territories of hope, and a journey through the landfill is a path to sacred... transformation. The world after the catastrophe is fabulously absurd, but from its panopticon, eternal meanings sprout: death and rebirth, faith and despair, decay and a new utopia. Sorokin guides the reader through a purifying absurdity: from the horrifying prose of decay to glimpses of grace. "Fairy Tale" is a new epic about the Russian consciousness: sinful and luminous, humiliated and dreaming.
 
The author once again constructs the future as an allegorical nightmare, but also gives the reader a chance – terrifying, yet the only possible one.
