Чапаев и Пустота

Roman CHapaev i Pustota sam avtor kharakterizuet kak Eto pervoe proizvedenie v mirovoy literature, deystvie kotorogo proiskhodyat v absolyutnoy pustote. Na samom dele ono proiskhodit v 1919 godu v divizii CHapaeva, v kotoroy glavnyy geroy, poet-dekadent Pyetr Pustota, sluzhit komissarom, a takzhe v nashi dni, a takzhe, kak i vsegda u Pelevina, v virtualnom prostranstve, gde s glavnym geroem vstrechayutsya Kavabata, SHvartsenegger, prosto Mariya... Po mneniyu kritikov, CHapaev i Pustota yavlyaetsya pervym seryeznym dzen buddistskim romanom v russkoy literature.
