"the new war and peace"

Thanks for the link.

Pelevin is always worth a read!

"The Sacred Book of a Werewolf" is a product of much-publicized
postmodernist author Viktor Pelevin. It provides a satirical account
of Russian life as seen through the eyes of a 3,000-year-old Chinese
werewolf – but with a catch. "Werefox" would actually be a more
appropriate term, as the character, A Khuli, usually exists in the
form of a fox. The fact that she is manifested in the novel as a
pretty teenaged girl working as a prostitute in Moscow not only adds
to the confusion, but also allows Pelevin to introduce a wide range of
typical Russian male characters, from the repentant masochist liberal
intellectual to a brutal drug addict Federal Security Service (FSB)
operative.
