Description

Grotesque, deconstructive, and absolutely genius, Vladimir Sorokin’s short story collectionDispatches from the District Committee is a revelatory, offbeat portrait of Soviet life beyond thepropaganda and state-sponsored realism.Celebrated—and censored—for its political satire, literary irreverence, and provocative themes,his work has been recognized across the world for its scathing, darkly humorous commentaryon political and cultural oppression in the Soviet Union and contemporary Russia. Dispatches from the District Committee brings together stories from Sorokin’s incendiary 1992collection The First Subotnik/My First Working Saturday.

Skillfully translated by Max Lawton,these stories remain subversive classics, and increasingly relevant in a post-truth informationage.
