Red Pyramid And Other Stories

Provocative, hilarious, and tender stories about sex, violence, politics from one of the greatest Russian writers of the post-Soviet era. Red Pyramid is a sort of greatest hits collection of short stories from across Vladimir Sorokin's career, beginning with juvenilia like The Pink Tuber, composed with no expectation of either publication or readership; moving on to scatological conceptual texts like An Obelisk ; then plunging into the more even-tempered, but still quite uncanny, delights of his post-Soviet work.
