Babylon | Viktor Pelevin

1 post | 1 read

As a poet, Tartarsky is a failure. As a copywriter for one of Moscow's biggest advertising firms he makes $2,000 in ten minutes - and that's before the cocaine kicks in. But as Tartarsky speeds through a surreal world of PR mercenaries, back-door deals and Zen Buddhism, he begins to suspect the disturbing truth behind it all - as suggested to him by the disembodied voice of Che Guevara. Babylon confirms Victor Pelevin's reputation as the funniest and sharpest observer of the chaos and absurdity of post-Soviet Russian life.

Advertising, pop culture, hallucinogenic drugs, and satire about the modern world. If that sounds good to you then you might enjoy the book. However, if the first three are rather unappealing and you feel satire is very difficult to do well then you may feel like I do about this book. I found a few of the ads pretty funny but honestly there‘s not a lot that appealed to me about the book. I saw glimpses of promise but that‘s all.
