The way the plot progressed in this novel was not what I was used to; this was a large reason in why I liked it. I don't mind being a little confused as to WHERE the story is going because it is still progressing, just not in the typical spoon fed intro-problem-solution-happy ending story. Pelevin's exploration of the anal-oral-displaced patterns from the perspective of Tatarsky's own exploration in contrast to Tatarsky's experience in the advertising industry was wonderfully written. I will definitely reread this book and plan to read more novels by this author.
