Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) kevinkevbo | Jul 14, 2023 |  An excellent read for a certain type of reader who has good mix of cynicism and knowledge of world history. If you don't, please skip this book and go read about zombies. (  ) Steve_Walker | Sep 13, 2020 | This reminds me of so many, though none can have that Shteyngart sparkle: Call Me Zebra - Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi A Confederacy of Dunces - John Kennedy Toole Home Land - Sam Lipsyte The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao - Junot Diaz Wise Blood - Flannery O'Connor (  )1  booklove2 | Sep 3, 2020 |  ) Kelmanel | Apr 17, 2020 | ) AaronJacobs | Oct 23, 2018 |
 Like a victorious wrestler, this novel is so immodestly vigorous, so burstingly sure of its barbaric excellence, that simply by breathing, sweating and standing upright it exalts itself.  In the end Misha gives new meaning to that archetype of Russian literature — the "superfluous man" — while Mr. Shteyngart's novel manages to seem equally beside the point.

"With the enormous success of the critically acclaimed The Russian debutante's handbook, Gary Shteyngart established himself as one of the most talented writers of his generation. Open Absurdistan and meet our hero, the outsize Misha Vainberg, son of the 1,238th-richest man in Russia, lover of large portions of food and drink, lover and inept performer of rap music, and lover of a South Bronx Latina whom he longs to rejoin in New York City, if only the American INS will grant him a visa. It won't, because Misha's late beloved Papa whacked an Oklahoma businessman of some prominence; now Misha is paying the price of exile from his adopted American homeland. He's stuck in Russia, dreaming of his beloved Rouenna and the Oz of NYC. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
