Any Russian lit aficionados here?

What are /lit/'s thoughts about Pelevin, Tolstaya, Sorokin ,Olga Slavnikova, Lyudmila Ulitskaya.

It seems to me that a fascinating mix of strange authors came about after the Glasnost era that combine "weird fiction" with the old Russian novel. I know Sorokin is well received in the West , and for a good reason too, his books are amazing. I haven't read Pelevin yet, but he seems to be the Russian version of Pynchon.

>That quote is very true

if that is the case, then all philosophical categories and intuitions are built in the human conscience, which may be incapable of talking about them, but able to live through them?

Yea. The experiences were there long before the terms ever existed.
