Before becoming a super adman, Tatarsky writes his last poem, which can be read as an epigraph to the entire novel. Echoing Fyodor Dostoevsky’s musings in Crime and Punishment that eternity could turn out to be “one little room, something like a bath-house in the country, black with soot, with spiders in every corner” and those of the Russian rock band ddt in the song, “What is Autumn?”, the poem morphs into an extended question mark hovering over the post-Soviet, post-utopian space we call Russia:
What is eternity? It’s a little bath house. Eternity is a little bath house with cockroaches
But if a Manka—a common salesgirl
Stops believing in this little bath house,
What will become of the Motherland and us?

"There's a scientific hypothesis that every person's name is a primary suggestive command that contains the entire script of their life in highly concentrated form. . . . According to this point of view, there is only a limited number of names, because society only needs a limited number of human types. Just a few models of worker and warrior ants, if I could put it like that. And everybody's psyche is preprogrammed at a basic level by the associative semantic fields that their first name and surname activate."
— Victor Pelevin (The Sacred Book of the Werewolf)
"Reading is human contact, and the range of our human contacts is what makes us what we are. Just imagine you live the life of a long-distance truck driver. The books that you read are like the travelers you take into your cab. If you give lifts to people who are cultured and profound, you'll learn a lot from the. If you pick up fools, you'll turn into a fool yourself."
— Victor Pelevin (The Sacred Book of the Werewolf)
Are our names given to us or chosen by us?

You can select a new name if you want to replace your given one.
Knew this shapeshifter from NYC once who changed his name to Egg by deed poll.

It's an archaic system of name change once used by Americans travelling through England en route to Scotland. ;)

I have a fairly good memory, but your memory is astounding. For real.
