Empire V

Style and Technique

In «Empire V», Victor Pelevin employs his characteristic style, blending elements of postmodernism and satire. The language of the work is rich with metaphors, allusions, and wordplay, allowing the author to create multilayered meanings and emphasize the absurdity of the described reality. Pelevin actively uses irony and sarcasm to critique modern society and its values. The narrative structure is nonlinear, enabling the author to freely move between different temporal and spatial planes, creating an effect of fragmentation and chaos. Literary devices such as intertextuality and parody help Pelevin explore themes of power, consumption, and identity. An important feature is also the use of philosophical and cultural references, making the text rich and requiring attentive reading.
