The Clay MachineGun is a novel rich in hilarious paradox. Pelevin himself has described it as the first novel in world literature which takes place in an absolute void. Controversially denied the Russian Booker Prize the Jury President branded it as a kind of computer virus designed to destroy the cultural memory the book became a huge cult success in Russia.The Clay MachineGun is a nightmarish fantasy about identity, crime and Russian history. The action cuts deliriously between presentday Moscow and 1919, the era of the Civil War, in which the narrator finds himself serving as a commissar in the division of the legendary commander Vasily Chapaev, and his formidable machinegunner sidekick, Anna. Hailed as the greatest Russian novel of the postSoviet era, The Clay MachineGun confirmed Victor Pelevins status as one of the brightest stars in the Russian literary firmament.
