About the author

Vladimir Sorokin

86 books928 followers
Vladimir Sorokin (Владимир Сорокин, Vlagyimir Szorokin) was born in a small town outside of Moscow in 1955. He trained as an engineer at the Moscow Institute of Oil and Gas, but turned to art and writing, becoming a major presence in the Moscow underground of the 1980s. His work was banned in the Soviet Union, and his first novel, The Queue, was published by the famed émigré dissident Andrei Sinyavsky in France in 1983. In 1992, Sorokin’s Collected Stories was nominated for the Russian Booker Prize; in 1999, the publication of the controversial novel Blue Lard, which included a sex scene between clones of Stalin and Khrushchev, led to public demonstrations against the book and to demands that Sorokin be prosecuted as a pornographer; in 2001, he received the Andrei Biely Award for outstanding contributions to Russian literature. Sorokin is also the author of the screenplays for the movies Moscow, The Kopeck, and 4, and of the libretto for Leonid Desyatnikov’s Rosenthal’s Children, the first new opera to be commissioned by the Bolshoi Theater since the 1970s. He has written numerous plays and short stories, and his work has been translated throughout the world. Among his most recent books are Sugar Kremlin and Day of the Oprichnik. He lives in Moscow.

Я в принципе книги Сорокина читаю почему-то с удовольствием, хотя почти весь постмодернизм, про который в рецензиях умные люди пишут, не подмечаю и не понимаю вовсе. А цепляет почему-то именно недосказанность, когда немыслимые ситуации всеми персонажами воспринимаются как нечто абсолютно естественное, и поэтому не проговариваются и не объясняются. Из "Моноклона", впрочем, я не запомнил никаких образов\цитат, ну и ладно.

Рассказы про говно и еблю в жопу. Хорошая книга

Самая слабая книга Сорокина, которую я читал. Похожа на пробу пера, наброски идей для будущих книг. В отличие от "Нормы" истории здесь не связаны явным сюжетом, а среди рассказов нет своих "Писем Мартину Алексеевичу". С другой стороны, отдельные образы, вроде крысы или лошади с белым глазом, остаются в памяти, а работа с русским языком вызывает почтение. Пожалуй, можно вспомнить о футурологических навыках Сорокина, и трактовать книгу, как предчувствие в картинках.

Ну вот. Нормально, но не чаще раза в пять лет Сорокина можно

Это было просто лениво. Сорокин способен на гораздо большее

Sorokin went to some totally other level. There are cool pieces as usual and 'Chornaja Loshad s Belym Glazom', 'Putom krisy', 'Smirnov' and Kukhnja'. Great to read such things from a living author
