Influences


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 ...more

“Vodka after tea keeps the soul frost-free!”
Vladimir Sorokin, The Blizzard

“– Отец Панкратий, послушайте! Вы знаете, где мы все живем, в какой стране, в каком государстве. Здесь все – как бы. Как бы покой, как бы воля, как бы закон, как бы порядок, как бы царь, как бы бояре, как бы холопья, как бы дворяне, как бы церковь, как бы детский сад, как бы школа, как бы парламент, как бы суд, как бы больница, как бы мясо, как бы самолет, как бы водка, как бы бизнес, как бы машина, как бы завод, как бы дороги, как бы кладбища, как бы пенсия, как бы сыр, как бы мир, как бы война, как бы мать родна.
Затворник перестал хлебать чай.
Саша продолжал, с горечью и дрожью в голосе:
– Настоящее у нас – только вот эта боеголовка.”
Vladimir Sorokin, Белый квадрат

“medhermeneutical”
