Goluboe Salo (In Russian)

Description: Clones of great writers writhe in a torturous script process, the Bolshoi Theater is flooded to the ceiling with sewage, Stalin and Khrushchev are lovers, the history of the twentieth century is turned inside out.
In the most provocative novel by Vladimir Sorokin, which secured for him the title of classic of postmodernism, all idols are overthrown - they become participants in an unrestrained carnival, where high and low, fantasy and reality, past and future are mixed.
However, one sacred thing remains untrampled: destroying the usual ideas about the norm and turning everything upside down, Sorokin here also proclaims the sacred status of literature. The main character of the novel is a literary myth; it changes, but its fundamental role in culture remains unchanged.
