Erofeev, you see, is not merely drunk--he's metaphysically smashed, floating somewhere on the far side of oblivion, in the alcoholic backwater of heightened consciousness. His sodden satirical monologue is a latter-day Notes from Underground (and under the influence)--a profoundly funny novel that ranks as a satirical masterpiece...
