Thanks in part to its depiction of Stalin and Khrushchev having sex, which inspired a Putinist youth group to throw shredded copies of the authors books into an enormous toilet erected in front of Moscows Bolshoi Theater, Blue Lard is the novel that tore Sorokin out of the Moscow Conceptualist underground and into the headlines.The book begins in a futuristic laboratory where genetic scientists speak in a Joycean dialect of Russian mixed with Chinesepeppered with ample neologismsand work to clone famous Russian writers, who are then made to produce texts in the style of their forebears.

What will come of this blue lard? Who will finally make use of its mysterious powers?Blue Lard is a stylistically acrobatic book, translated by Max Lawton into an English idiom just as bizarre as the Russian original. Evoking both Pulp Fiction and the masterpieces of Marquis de Sade, Sorokins novel is a brutal, heady trip that annihilates all of its twentieth- (and twenty-first-) century competition in the Russian canonand that annihilates Russia itself in a resounding act of heavy-metal dissidence....(*_*)9781681378190_The Russian masters most infamous novel, a dystopian fever dream about cloning, alternative histories, and world domination.Blue Lard is an act of desecration.
