In 1972 he made his literary debut with a publication in the newspaper ''Za Kadry Neftyanikov'' (, lit. ''For the petroleum industry human resources''). He studied at the Gubkin Institute of Oil and Gas in Moscow and graduated in 1977 as an engineer. After graduation he worked for one year for the magazine "Shift" (), before he had to leave due to his refusal to become a member of the Komsomol. Throughout the 1970s, Sorokin participated in a number of art exhibitions and designed and illustrated nearly 50 books. Sorokin's development as a writer took place amidst painters and writers of the Moscow underground scene of the 1980s. In 1985, six of Sorokin's stories appeared in the Paris magazine ''A-Ya''. In the same year, French publisher ''Syntaxe'' published his novel ''Ochered (The Queue). Sorokin's works, bright and striking examples of underground culture, were banned during the Soviet period. His first publication in the USSR appeared in November 1989, when the Riga-based Latvian magazine ''Rodnik'' (Spring) presented a group of Sorokin's stories. Soon after, his stories appeared in Russian literary miscellanies and magazines ''Tretya Modernizatsiya'' (The Third Modernization), ''Mitin Zhurnal'' (Mitya's Journal), ''Konets Veka'' (End of the Century), and ''Vestnik Novoy Literatury'' (Bulletin of the New Literature). In 1992, Russian publishing house ''Russlit'' published ''Sbornik Rasskazov'' (Collected Stories) – Sorokin's first book to be nominated for a Russian Booker Prize.〔(wordswithoutborders.org )〕 In September 2001, Vladimir Sorokin received the People's Booker Prize; two months later, he was presented with the Andrei Bely Prize for outstanding contributions to Russian literature. In 2002, there was a protest against his book ''Blue Bacon Fat'', and he was investigated for pornography. Sorokin's books have been translated into English, French, German, Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Italian, Polish, Japanese, Serbian, Korean, Romanian, Estonian, Slovak, Czech, Hungarian, and Croatian, and are available through a number of prominent publishing houses, including ''Gallimard'', ''Fischer'', ''DuMont'', ''BV Berlin'', ''Haffman'', ''Mlinarec & Plavic'' and ''Verlag der Autoren''. One of his recent novels, ''Day of the Oprichnik'', describes a dystopian Russia in 2028, with a Tzar in the Kremlin, a Russian language with numerous Chinese expressions, and a "Great Russian Wall" separating the country from its neighbors.〔(dursthoff.de )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vladimir Sorokin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
