Tale

Vladimir Sorokin has written a new parable – wild, enchanting, and ruthless.

In the novel "Tale," a dark post-apocalyptic Russia comes to life, where garbage fields become territories of hope, and a journey through a landfill is a path to sacred... transformation. The world after the catastrophe is fantastically absurd, but from its panopticon, eternal meanings emerge: death and rebirth, faith and despair, decay and a new utopia. Sorokin guides the reader through a cleansing absurdity: from the horrifying prose of decay to glimpses of grace. "Tale" is a new epic about the Russian consciousness: corrupt and bright, humbled 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.
