Generation П by Victor Pelevin, Victor Pelevin
4.0
i guess there’s quite a lot of people (in former ussr countries ofc) who know exactly what he’s talking about and for them it’s the easiest read ever, maybe even until the very last chapters, but if you have difficulty understanding him, you’re likely a much happier person
i’m not a happy person. even though i didn’t live in that time, i think the feeling of the 90s was passed on to me, it’s in my dna i’m pretty sure.
i enjoyed the first part, especially the sections that had to do with the hilarious ads the mc was coming up with, it’s literally funny as sh but also made me really bitter.
i’m finally certain that i’m not a fan of pelevin’s descriptions of character going nuts and having all those dream sequences and acid trips etc, he loves them, but they bore me to death. at the same time i fully understand how effective this stylistic choice is and appreciate it. but i’ll probably take a break from his prose for some time.
