Fairy Tale

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