Cincinnatus afterlife wandering in the novel V. Pelevin "T"

Abstract

The article show how does Pelevin use the most representative and prestigious codes of Russian literature. In most cases it is L. Tolstoy, F. Dostoevsky and V. Nabokov. Active deconstructive game with the classical narrative schemes allows the author to bring to the absurd fundamental principles of a realistic, modern and contemporary mythologism. This seems the most radical rethinking of the concept of creativity as the true being.
