Queue (Sorokin Vladimir)(Paperback) - diskuze

Vladimir Sorokin's first published novel, The Queue, is a sly comedy about the late Soviet "years of stagnation."

Sorokin's tour de force of ventriloquism and formal daring tells the whole story in snatches of unattributed dialogue, adding up to nothing less than the real voice of the people, overheard on the street as they joke and curse, fall in and out of love, slurp down ice cream or vodka, fill out crossword puzzles, even go to sleep and line up again in the morning as the queue drags
