Life of Insects

Set in a crumbling Soviet Black Sea resort, The Life of Insects with its motley cast of characters who exist simultaneously as human beings (racketeers, mystics, drug addicts and prostitutes) and as insects, extended the surreal comic range for which Pelevin's first novel Omon Ra was acclaimed by critics.

Amplasat intr-o statiune sovietica in prabusire de la Marea Neagra, Viata insectelor, cu distributia sa pestrita de personaje care exista simultan ca fiinte umane (racketi, mistici, dependenti de droguri si prostituate) si ca insecte, a extins gama suprarealista de benzi desenate pentru care primul roman al lui Pelevin, Omon Ra a fost apreciata de critici.
