How does the sled-mobile work? If the horses are operating a caterpillar tread, are they on top of it (like a tank turret)? In this case they would have to be running backwards to make the sled move forward. Or are they inside the caterpillar tread? Or have I misunderstood.? From the page 16 description they are running on the drive belt, not the snow.

Popped into a bookstore today, saw this, liked the title, the blurb, the picture of the author and thought, why not?

Not every novel must have a metaphorical message to be great. This story by Sorokin has no such messages. It seems to me the book is a fantastically written lucid dream, and perhaps the author's ability to make us leave this earth and dream while we're still awake is itself the message. Does anybody else feel this way?
