The Queue (novel)
 The Queue is a bizarrely funny saga of a quintessential Russian institution the interminably long line. The novel was written by Russian writer Vladimir Sorokin in 1983 and later published in the United States in 1985 by NYRB Classics. The Library Journal describes Sorokin’s work as being an “avant-garde experiment with a flair of nonsense.The Queue does not follow a traditional narrative style.
