About the book
Victor Pelevin's novel is narrated by A Huli, a fox spirit some two thousand years old who works as an expensive prostitute in Moscow's best hotels, and it combines a supernatural love story with satire of modern Russia. Her figure draws on the huli jing, the fox-woman of Chinese myth. When a client in a luxury suite goes fatally berserk at the sight of her, she has to flee. The cast also takes in a werewolf, former KGB agents and oil tycoons. The first Russian edition came with a disc of the songs heard in the book.
Alina Varlanuta, creator of The Hole in Your Head, named it among the experimental writing she has dug up as a reader.
