Synopsis
The realities (and unrealities) of post-Soviet Russia are seen through the seductive eyes of an ancient shapeshifting werefox in Victor Pelevin's satiric novel. For the "sake of convenience" A Hu-Li says she's 2000 years old, but this werefox looks 14 and uses this to earn her living: "My physical appearance arouses feelings in people, especially men, that are boring to describe, and there's no need--nowadays everybody's read LOLITA, even the Lolitas." This is prototypical Pelevin--irreverent and referential: Russian masters Blok and Nabokov are both pointedly mentioned in the first three pages. Pelevin whips A Hu-Li's story around (much like she whips out her tale to entrance her clients so she doesn't actually have to have sex with them) with a fair amount of self-described "pseudo-oriental pop-metaphysics." But nonetheless his humorous prose retains a lightness and ultimately resonates with a tenderness that counterbalance the headiness, providing an account of contemporary Russia that is magically astute. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2008.

Publisher's Note
A darkly comic work by the author of Buddha's Little Finger finds fifteen-year-old Moscow prostitute A. Huli hiding her identity as a two-thousand-year-old were-fox who seduces men to absorb their life force, a practice that catches the attention of a high-ranking intelligence officer and fellow werewolf. Simultaneous.

Industry Reviews
"This book is in the great Russian tradition of social satire running from Gogol through to Bulgakov."
(02/16/2008)

"It's a joy to read Pelevin's phantasmagoria so brilliantly translated by Andrew Bromfield, a crowning achievement of the pair's longtime association. Complex ideas are rendered simply and organically, never disturbing the narrative flow. Brom­field's English text is fleet and magical."
