Modern corporations are so keen to limit the private time of their employees, arranging collective visits to sports clubs, outings to nature, and so on. D. It is necessary that man as long as possible was in the team, the team that he had no time for anycritical reflection, the realization that it just used.This is - a commonplace of western "left" critique of the modern world, which gives the sprouts and the former Soviet Union - says the publication Paragraph.
Riga Two young journalist Aleksandr Garros and Aleksei Evdokimov wrote the novel "[head] break-up" for which were awarded the prize "National Bestseller" is perhaps the most scandalous and controversial Russian literary awards.
protagonist of "[head] breaking", press officer of the Latvian branch of the Bank of REX, writes New Year's greetings to colleagues, where a special predilection develops the theme of the family (we are all employees of the bank, one big family).All this - the work, colleagues, the need to participate in the "collective life" - it has got the order, so he also writes his own, unofficial New Year's message, which reviles was worth and colleagues, and - mainly - the bosses.Cherished lyrics he kept in a secret location in the depths of your computer at work, but one of his immediate boss is reading all this, you understand, it becomes extremely angry.The conflict leads to the fact that our hero is simple and ruthlessly kill the first boss came to hand a heavy object.Since then it ceases to be part of the system.It was a series of bloody murders, described by all the rules of the "black" of the genre, and it becomes a metaphor in the novel expanded social escapism and creativity.
All anything, but only a dull feeling that all you've already read it, do not leave for a minute.And it's true: all the techniques used by the authors in the novel, worked in the literature (and not only in literature, in modern cinema, for example) many times.Computer Slang, conditional, functional scenes of violence reminiscent of the films of Quentin Tarantino and Oliver Stone, literalization capital metaphor in the end (the hero, in fact, only those involved that breaks through the heads of their hated enemies), - reception, characteristic of Vladimir Sorokin.But most importantly, perhaps - is that "[a head] breaking the" too much journalism.Such an newspaper column, stretched to the size of the novel, which, in turn, recalls Federico Beigbeder and his "99 francs".So critical pathos, of course.Where do without him?
