Gary Shteyngart - Penguin Random House (original) (raw)

“There cannot be a more relevant novel for our moment, certainly not one with such beauty of description, depth of feeling, and, as always, humor. Shteyngart has written an American comic Decameron, or, to be plain: a masterpiece.” —Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less

“You can retreat from global catastrophe but your private calamities will come and find you. Gary Shteyngart’s most moving novel, Chekhov and Boccaccio reimagined in America in the year of the pandemic, is a powerful fable of our broken time.” —Salman Rushdie, Booker Prize-winning author of Midnight's Children

“Gary Shteyngart is a national treasure. He has always written with great humor and heart, but never more so than here. Be careful reading this book in public; it as likely to make you laugh out loud as cry.”—Jonathan Safran Foer, bestselling author of Everything Is Illuminated and I Am Here
