He tells a complete story of what occurs in a horrible Russian winter's journey that lasts only two days through a roaring blizzard on a journey that could never be completed because we are meant to suffer the macabre and unfinished ride along with the charachters. He makes us dream his fantastical lucid fantasies as if were were having our own lucid dream, one where we tiried but could not control the outcome, only follow the writer's own dream to the end. Although Sorokin has his distinctive voice, he makes me wonder if Franz Kafka were still alive in modern Russian Times he would have written this book, after reinventing his writing and experiencing a few acid trips. I can't get enough of Sorokin. Tonight I will dream of a miniature red roan who loved his master. If my dream is half as lucid at the story of the Blizzard, I would never need to dream again. This book and author are brilliant, other worldly in storytelling. Their is no other author who comes close to Vladimir Sorokin's mind and writing ability. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling and dangerous, like sunshine on fresh snow *by P***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2016* This book is a wild ride that’s equal parts Dr. Zhivago, On the Road, No Exit, and Roadside Picnic. That is to say, it’s about a road trip through a Russian winter across a landscape scattered with unexpected artifacts (or at least, magical realist flourishes) that calls into question the human condition.The set up is simple and insidious: a doctor must deliver medicine to a distant town to quell a zombie uprising. But stranded by a monumental blizzard, he’s forced to rely on a sled driver and the kindness (and quirks) of strangers to make it through the whiteout. Along the way, he’s severely challenged by the elements, existential angst, human nature and his own shortcomings.It’s a quick read, and unforgettable, due mostly to the matter-of-fact treatment of the fantastical elements — tiny horses (and people), giant horses (and people), tents that grow themselves, addictive drugs that provide a sense of euphoria by inducing terror of death and more.But it’s the existential dynamics between people — ineffective, uncertain and both drawn to and repulsed by those we are trapped with — that make the slim little story stand out. It says something profound about the human condition: that someday, we’ll likely find ourselves hacking away at the nasal cavity of a frozen giant to free the runner of our sled.Don’t miss this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The Blizzard as A Psychological Metaphor *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2016* Sorokin's "The Blizzard" moves quickly through the vast Russian landscape in darkness much like a psychological journey into our deepest fears. The narrative contains elements of surrealism--tiny horses pull the sled, mysterious small glass pyramids are buried in the snow, a huge idol blocks the journey. In addition, there are humorous scenes with strange characters, a stop at a strange house where the master is a tiny man whose wife holds him like a doll. Just when the story establishes a crisis, such as the many breakdowns of the runner of the sled, then the journey moves on to another strange event. The endless snow is reminiscent of some of Chekhov's landscapes in his short stories; however is it Bulgakov ("The Master and Margareta") whose influence appears in the combination of realistic details with the strange and fantastic. For another version of a journey in the snow, read Leo Tolstoy's "Master and Man" a short story with a very different tone and moral conclusions. I prefer Sorokin's version as the narrative constantly challenges the reader to make sense of the combination of the blizzard and the mysterious and unexplained events that are described in the same tone and language. It is a novel that I want to read and reread to enjoy the challenge of the narrative. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/27774825-the-blizzard-a-novel-hardcover-december-1-2015](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/27774825-the-blizzard-a-novel-hardcover-december-1-2015) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
