About the product In the series «All Sorokin» comes the legendary collection of stories «The Feast», a book that weaves into one bright and incredible canvas high and low, reality and fiction, classic Russian literature and Soviet clichés. The main theme of this collection of thirteen stories was food, food in every sense and in all forms. In the era of postmodernism and mass consumption, food becomes both classical culture and the language of Soviet propaganda, and the bright aspirations of the Russian intelligentsia at the beginning of the 20th century, and Japanese ideas about beauty, and the person himself, and even emptiness, which, it turns out, can be swallowed with spoons. All this can be eaten and digested. Some of these stories are shocking, some make you think seriously, some laugh homerically, some are striking in their relevance and resonate so much with what is happening in Russia and in the world, as if they were written only yesterday. Here everyone will find for themselves what they are looking for in modern literature: whether it be symbolist overtones, philosophical reflections, social and political satire, wonderful humor or impeccable style.
