The worlds first Zen Buddhist paranormal romancepublished to coincide with HalloweenOne of the most progressive writers at work today, Victor Pelevins comic inventiveness has won him comparisons to Kafka, Calvino, and Gogol, and Time has described him as a psychedelic Nabokov for the cyberage. In The Sacred Book of the Werewolf, a smash success in Russia and Pelevins first novel in six years, paranormal meets transcendental with a splash of satire as A Hu-Li, a two-thousand-year-old shape-shifting werefox from ancient China meets her match in Alexander, a Wagner-addicted werewolf whos the key figure in Russias Big Oil. Both a supernatural love story and an outrageously funny send-up of modern Russia, this stunning and ingenious work of the imagination is the sharpest novel to date from Russias most gifted literary malcontent.
