Buddha's Little Finger

Pelevin is, in fact, a rather boring author. What makes him great are streaks of brilliance here and there. All of his books consist of 90% boredom and 10% of genius which more than compensates. He is a master of aphorisms, irony, and, if he gets lucky, dialogue. Reading Pelevin is like panning for gold. Mud, mud, mud, mud, nugget! I like him a lot, to be clear.

These guys managed to flush all the nuggets contained in the original book, which are numerous, down the drain, and keep the mud.
