Dispatches from the District Committee

(2025)
A collection of stories by

 
 
Grotesque, deconstructive, and absolutely genius, Vladimir Sorokin’s short story collection
Dispatches from the District Committee is a revelatory, offbeat portrait of Soviet life beyond the
propaganda and state-sponsored realism.
Celebrated—and censored—for its political satire, literary irreverence, and provocative themes,
his work has been recognized across the world for its scathing, darkly humorous commentary
on political and cultural oppression in the Soviet Union and contemporary Russia.


Dispatches from the District Committee brings together stories from Sorokin’s incendiary 1992
collection
The First Subotnik/My First Working Saturday. Skillfully translated by Max Lawton,
these stories remain subversive classics, and increasingly relevant in a post-truth information
age.
