Норма

The Norm is one of the most exciting and multifaceted works by Vladimir Sorokin, a master of alternative prose. This novel exquisitely intertwines postmodernism with realism, the recent past with Kafka-esque surrealist motifs, and a fascinating, mystery-like plot with deep profundity. The Norm is at once social satire and anti-utopian, and thoroughly intellectually stimulating.
