The Caretaker (Russian: «Смотритель») is a novel by Victor Pelevin first published in 2015. The novel consists of two books. In the first volume of the novel, the protagonist was frightened that he was a ghost. In the second, he resigned himself to the idea that he was a dream watching himself. The literary critic of the newspaper Kommersant, thus described the novel. Pelevin does not deviate one bit from his Jesuit rhythm, repeated over and over in his recent works. The hero's birth and training (15 pages) - initiation (20 pages) - the woman (12 pages) - initiation again, initiation into the higher caste (22 pages) - the story of the creation of the world (20 pages) - the unveiling and destruction of the world (50-60 pages). The author works like clockwork in this sense. Source: Wikipedia (en)
