Friday:

Gary Shteyngart at the Buffalo Humanities Festival

Reading, on-stage interview, and book signing at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery with the author of New York Times bestseller Little Failure.

“Shteyngart’s penetrating attentiveness, outlandish precision, abrading and embracing humor, and ability to extrapolate larger truths about inheritance, immigration, assimilation, and creativity from his own epic floundering and yearning make for a memoir of exceptional dimension, provocation, and pleasure.” —Booklist

“An ecstatic depiction of survival, guilt and perseverance . . . as vivid, original and funny as [anything] contemporary U.S. literature has to offer.” —Los Angeles Times

“Little Failure is as entertaining as it’s moving.” —The New York Times
