Description
Vladimir Sorokin's Red Pyramid Selected Stories is a collection of his most unsettling and provocative short fiction. Spanning his career from the Soviet Union to the Putin era, these stories showcase Sorokin's mastery of parody and pastiche, as well as his ability to expose the darkest corners of the human psyche. From the scatological conceptualism of "Obelisk" to the notorious "A Month in Dachau", which earned him a reputation as the Russian Sade, Sorokin's stories are known for their queasy tour-de-forces and profoundly unsettling texts like "Tiny Tim". This is the first time his work has been collected in English, offering readers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of contemporary literature's most innovative voices.
