In "The Sacred Book of the Werewolf," acclaimed Russian author Victor Pelevin presents a satirical and philosophical tale that blends elements of fantasy and romance. The novel follows A Hu-Li, a two-thousand-year-old shape-shifting werefox from ancient China, who works as a call girl in modern-day Moscow. She meets her match in Alexander, a high-ranking intelligence officer who is also a werewolf. Together, they embark on a journey that explores themes of identity, reality, and the search for meaning in a post-Soviet world. Pelevin's inventive narrative has drawn comparisons to the works of Kafka and Calvino. PENGUINRANDOMHOUSE.COM
