"Telluria is set in the future, when a devastating holy war between Europe and Islam has succeeded in returning the world to the torpor and disorganization of the Middle Ages. Europe, China, and Russia have all broken up. The people of the world now live in an array of little nations like puzzle pieces, each cultivating its own ideology or identity, a neo-feudal world of fads and feuds, in which no one power dominates. What does, however, travel everywhere is the appetite for the special substance tellurium. A spike of tellurium, driven into the brain by an expert hand, offers a transforming experience of bliss; incorrectly administered, it means death. The fifty chapters of Telluria map out this brave new world from fifty different angles, as Sorokin, always a virtuoso of the word, introduces us, among many other figures, to partisans and princes, peasants and party leaders, a new Knights Templar, a harem of phalluses, and a dog-headed poet and philosopher who feasts on carrion from the battlefield. The book is a immense and sumptuous tapestry of the word, carnivalesuqe and cruel, and Max Lawton, Sorokin's gifted translator, has captured it in an English that carries the charge of Cormac McCarthy and William Gibson"--… (altro)

It must be de rigueur today to like exiled Russian authors - living in Berlin no less. Telluria "is set in the future, when a devastating holy war between Europe and Islam has succeeded in returning the world to the topor and disorganization of the Middle Ages", "an array of little nations that are like puzzle pieces, each cultivating its own ideology or identity, a neo-feudal world of fads and feuds, in which no power dominates."

Set in the same world of Day of the Oprichnik - a book that has been called prophetic given current events - Sorokin seems to indulge in navel-gazing about the 'idea' of Russia. Already on page 10 one of his main insights is spelled out: what if Russia, as an empire, had properly collapsed in 1917? Granted: a sharp thought indeed.

The 50 vignettes this novel consists of don't spawn a larger narrative nor fleshed out characters, and that, for me, results in boredom. It's the old adagio: in a world where everything is possible, nothing really matters.

I was amused or interested occasionally - Sorokin surely can be inventive - but ultimately he didn't manage to engage me. His writing felt pompous and self-serious, a self-seriousness dishonestly disguised by irony, a bit of salacious sex (who cares?), expensive drugs and shapeshifting wordiness.

So I jumped ship at 36%. I'd rather read some of Sorokin's interviews if I want to learn something, or even better, more of Varlam Shalamov's vignettes.

Tripregény és multikultuszkönyv. Posztmodern a köbön, a történetmesélés semmibevétele és egyben felmagasztalása. A Tellúra nem is regény a szó szoros értelmében, inkább szkeccsek, álnépmesék, imák, beadványok és satöbbik eklektikus szövegbe rendezése. Darabokra tördelt utópia, tele Szorokin kreatív elmeszüleményeivel: újfeudálisok, posztsztálinisták, neonacionalisták, vahhabiták, törpék, zoomorfok, amit csak el tudunk képzelni – és számos olyan dolog, amit el sem tudunk képzelni. (Úgy higgyétek el, az egyik fejezetet egy öntudatos klónozott pénisz meséli el!) Olvasható pusztán groteszk játékként is, de ennél persze sokkal, sokkal többről van szó: a Tellúria olyan építmény, ami egy nagyon komoly irodalomtörténeti és filozófiai alapzaton áll. Gúnyos, tiszteletlen, fittyet hány a hagyományos értelemben vett írói szabályokra – de mindemellett szikrázóan okos, és ha mögé nézünk: döbbenetesen kiegyensúlyozott is. Ezek a mozaikok csak látszólag vannak egymás hegyére-hátára hányva – ha hátrálunk pár lépést, kirajzolódik egy bizonyos tekintetben riasztóan reális jövő: az ósdi ideológiák körül újraszerveződött miniállamok világa, egy apokaliptikus hi-tech középkor.
