Gary Shteyngart August 10, 2010

New York Times-bestselling author Gary Shteyngart (The Russian Debutante’s Handbook, Absurdistan) reads from his latest novel, Super Sad True Love Story, a searing political satire set in a near-future where people stream their lives instead of live them. Shteyngart writes for The New Yorker, GQ, Esquire, and The New York Times Magazine. He was recently named one of The New Yorker’s “20 under 40” writers to watch. A book signing follows the program.

"An indispensable and important American writer. Super Sad True Love Story shows him at his soulful, smart, and hilarious best,”—Jay McInerney
