Not to knock our cover of Sorokin's The Queue (Ochered ') — which shows a painting by Russian artist Eric Bulatov (who, incidentally, is mentioned in passing by Keith Gessen in a New York Review of Books article on several contemporary Russian writers, including Sorokin — a pleasing coincidence) but the 2007 Russian edition (Zaharov) of the book might outdo it in cleverness.

There are indeed more weblogs in the litblogosphere that take advantage of the medium "to post the best they could think or say" than are dreamt of in Keith Gessen and Marco Roth's philosophies, whether or not these blogs feature "5,000 word critiques" (although there are some of those, as well.)
