Notes:

It’s a book by Russian novelist Victor Pelevin. The title translates to “Numbers.” According to someone on /vr/ who read it:

“The main character is a businessman obsessed with the number 34 (and horrified of the number 43) who is described as looking “like the Pokemon Pikachu, only adult and terrifying.” He falls in love with a chick who’s obsessed with Meowth to the point where she’s spiked her hair to look like those things pointing off of the side of Meowth’s head and even acts like a Meowth. She drags him into the world of Pokemon roleplay sex, and can’t get off unless he’s tasing her and making Pikachu sounds. The rest of the story just falls into even more madness with happy terrorists, apocalyptic hobos, ancient Chinese wizards posing as Photoshop designers, evil rituals, brutal murder with a dildo, a goldfish that turns into an amazing American superhero called “Queerman” (I believe that’s what it translated to, it might have been more offensive), and Vladmir Putin in drag being obsessed with Rule 34 of Donkey from Shrek and r----- Pikachu while making donkey sounds and monologuing about capitalism. Also this won a huge prestigious award apparently because it’s all a postmodern metaphor for something or other. All I know is I never want to read another Russian story again.”
