Ice Trilogy
Ice Trilogy | Vladimir Sorokin
3 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
A New York Review Books Original In 1908, deep in Siberia, it fell to earth. THEIR ICE. A young man on a scientific expedition found it. It spoke to his heart, and his heart named him Bro. Bro felt the Ice. Bro knew its purpose. To bring together the 23,000 blond, blue-eyed Brothers and Sisters of the Light who were scattered on earth. To wake their sleeping hearts. To return to the Light. To destroy this world. And secretly, throughout the twentieth century and up to our own day, the Children of the Light have pursued their beloved goal. Pulp fiction, science fiction, New Ageism, pornography, video-game mayhem, old-time Communist propaganda, and rampant commercial hype all collide, splinter, and splatter in Vladimir Sorokins virtuosic Ice Trilogy, a crazed joyride through modern times with the promise of a truly spectacular crash at the end. And the reader, as eager for the redemptive fix of a good story as the Children are for the Primordial Light, has no choice except to go along, caught up in a brilliant illusion from which only illusion escapes intact.

erzascarletbookgasm Ah, two years is nothing. Have you heard of a Litten who has books untouched for four years? 🤫 5y
arubabookwoman That is an amazing book, and I definitely recommend you read it. It was like nothing else I'd ever read. 5y
Billypar @Cinfhen @erzascarletbookgasm I always wonder if there is really something about my bought TBR shelf old-timers that my brain knows I won't like, or if I'm just prejudiced against them for some trivial reason (e.g unappealing cover art). 5y
Cinfhen I just like buying books @Billypar I think reading them comes second to purchasing them 😬😜 5y
Billypar @Cinfhen Very true! 😁 5y
