1639253564844388354 | Do you have your tickets for @wdstkbookfest yet? I'll be a judge at the Thursday night story slam, and on Saturday I'll moderate a personal essay panel featuring @alexanderchee @carolitajohnson @Shteyngart. Come! https://t.co/xnM0yKGVNq https://t.co/DrOQsu9f4e | 5 |
1640334829555183616 | @MattMurabro @Shteyngart I love Shteyngart, particularly Absurdistan, which contains some of my favorite scenes in modern fiction (the excursion into "the mysterious Russian soul" and the Israeli agent's scathing takedown of Americans' ignorance). Haven't read the latest novel yet, but it's on the list. | 2 |
1641584368824233984 | @Shteyngart I just love Don Jr. “This would make Stalin blush” Actually I think he’s a little off. Lenin might’ve been poisoned, Trotsky was stabbed, and others were arrested, lucky if they got a show trial and then were starved in a gulag. I don’t think Stalin blushed that easily. | 1 |
1640342524865683457 | @MattMurabro @Shteyngart Lenny's silent scream against religion in the Korean church is another one of my absolute favorite moments in modern fiction. | 1 |
1641546854646022145 | From OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS by @Shteyngart to PANPOCALYPSE by Carley Moore, @worldlittoday recommends 5 books set during the pandemic lockdown https://t.co/st2hrjhqQp | 1 |
1640337059456905217 | @SlavaMalamud @Shteyngart I started backwards—I read Our Country Friends first and loved it (taking a page out of the book, it would make a great movie) and then worked backwards. My favorite is Super Sad True Love Story—Lenny and Eunice were great characters I was sad to leave. I’m now finishing his…. | 1 |
1640334095539421185 | @SlavaMalamud Have you read any of @Shteyngart ‘s work? Much of it involves Russian-American and/or Russian characters, using the author’s firsthand experience as a Russian immigrant. Incredibly funny stuff. I picked up my first book of his this summer and sadly am nearly done with all of them | 1 |

1640854195506155521 | @jonst0kes I think this was a scene in @Shteyngart’s Super Sad True Love Story. I’m still waiting for Credit Poles. | 6 |
1638625047123472384 | @Shteyngart As Chinese diplomats said at a reception I attended in Hong Kong in 1969, during the border dispute w/ the USSR, "Russia stole this vast territory from us. We don't say we want it back. We just want Russia to admit that it's ours." | 5 |

1639414440704774149 | @Shteyngart If Macron had a Rolex he would be pilloried. How about he wears whatever watch he likes? I have a novelty Swatch, Mission to Jupiter, and I can’t see the hands (beige on beige!). At least with the B&Rs the hands are legible. | 4 |
