"An inventive comedy as black as outer space itself. Makes The Right Stuff looks like a NASA handout."--Tibor Fischer.Victor Pelevin's novel Omon Ra has been widely praised for its poetry and its wickedness, a novel in line with the great works of Gogol and Bulgakov: "full of the ridiculous and the sublime," says The Observer [London].

The New Yorker proclaimed: "Omon's adventure is like a rocket firing off its various stages--each incident is more jolting and propulsively absurd than the one before."
