In the rolling hills of upstate New York, a group of friends and friends-of-friends gathers in a country house to wait out the pandemic.

After three acclaimed novels - The Russian Debutante's Handbook, Absurdistan, and Super Sad True Love Story - Gary Shteyngart turns to memoir in a candid, witty, deeply poignant account of his life so far.

Named as one of the New York Times Year’s Ten Best upon its publication, Gary Shteyngart’s Absurdistan is a biting, poignant satire of American-style democracy and the American Dream. After returning to Russia to attend his father’s funeral, 30-year-old Misha is subsequently denied a visa when he attempts to re-enter the United States.

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.

Der Wall-Street-Millionär Barry Cohen führt ein perfektes Leben. Doch als er erfährt, dass sein Sohn autistisch ist und dann auch noch eine Untersuchung der Börsenaufsicht gegen ihn eingeleitet wird, packt er seine geliebte Uhrensammlung in einen Rollkoffer und macht sich auf den Weg. Sein irrwitziger Plan: nach zwanzig Jahren seine College-Liebe Layla wiederzutreffen - in der Hoffnung, mit ihr das einfachere, ehrlichere Leben von damals fortzuführen.
