“Every crease is a story.”

Author
Born 1962
Victor Olegovich Pelevin is a Russian fiction writer. His novels include Omon Ra (1992), The Life of Insects (1993), Chapayev and Void (1996), and Generation P (1999). He is a laureate of multiple literary awards including the Russian Little Booker Prize (1993) and the Russian National Bestseller (2004), the former for the short story collection The Blue Lantern (1991). In 2011 he was nominated for the Nobel prize in Literature. His books are multi-layered postmodernist texts fusing elements of pop culture and esoteric philosophies while carrying conventions of the science fiction genre. His early work merged postmodernism with Buddhism and ironic political critiques of conservatism and liberalism. His later work builds upon a foundation of post-modernism, but critiques the movement's lack of grand narratives, while also incorporating humanist philosophy. Some critics relate his prose to the New sincerity literary movement.
