Narcissistic, hilariously self-deluded, and divorced from the real world as most of us know it, hedge-fund manager Barry Cohen oversees $2.4 billion in assets. Deeply stressed by an SEC investigation and by his three-year-old son's diagnosis of autism, he flees New York on a Greyhound bus in search of a simpler, more romantic life with his old college sweetheart. Meanwhile, his super-smart wife, Seema -- a driven first-generation American who craved the picture-perfect life that comes with wealth -- has her own demons to face. How these two flawed characters navigate the Shteyngartian chaos of their own making is at the heart of this piercing exploration, a poignant tale of familial longing and an unsentimental ode to America.

LONGLISTED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN FICTION

"The fuel and oxygen of immigrant literature -- movement, exile, nostalgia, cultural disorientation -- are what fire the pistons of this trenchant and panoramic novel... [It is] a novel so pungent, so frisky and so intent on probing the dissonances and delusions -- both individual and collective -- that grip this strange land getting stranger." -- The New York Times Book Review

"Shteyngart, perhaps more than any American writer of his generation, is a natural. He is light, stinging, insolent and melancholy... The wit and the immigrant's sense of heartbreak -- he was born in Russia -- just seem to pour from him. The idea of riding along behind Shteyngart as he glides across America in the early age of Trump is a propitious one. He doesn't disappoint." -- The New York Times
