»Der himmelblaue Speck« von Vladimir Sorokin ist vor ĂŒber einem Vierteljahrhundert erschienen und ganz gut gealtert – fast zu gut, weil die dystopische Groteske vom Lauf der Welt inzwischen eingeholt wird.
Leider ist es bis auf die fantastischen literarischen Pastiches im ersten Viertel des Buches grĂ¶ĂŸtenteils nur ekelhaft und vulgĂ€r.

Meine Empfehlung: Lieber Der Schneesturm lesen. Da ist die Welt auch kaputt, aber das Buch ist schöner.

"#Sorokin: Der Westen soll noch stĂ€rker die Menschenrechte anmahnen. Bei allem VerstĂ€ndnis fĂŒr Kompromisse frage ich, ob Russland auf eine #Demokratie zusteuert. Ich denke nein! #Russland fĂ€llt Schritt fĂŒr Schritt in ein autoritĂ€res Imperium zurĂŒck. Das Schlimmste, was uns passieren kann, ist die GleichgĂŒltigkeit des Westens, wenn ihn außer #Öl und #Gas nichts interessieren wĂŒrde."
