Grotesque, deconstructive, and absolutely genius, Vladimir Sorokins short story collection Dispatches from the District Committee is a revelatory, offbeat portrait of Soviet life beyond the propaganda and statesponsored realism. Celebratedand censoredfor its political satire, literary irreverence, and provocative themes, Sorokins work has been recognized across the world for its scathing, darkly humorous commentary on political and cultural oppression in the Soviet Union and contemporary Russia. Dispatches from the District Committee brings together stories from Sorokins incendiary 1992 collection The First Subotnik/My First Working Saturday and elsewhere. Skillfully translated by Max Lawton, these stories remain subversive classics, and increasingly relevant in a posttruth information age.
