En Lake Success

Shteyngart, Gary

Narcissistic, vulgar, millionaire, childish, self-conscious, arrogant, lackadaisical, useless, infatuated, stereotypical, incapable, irresponsible: Barry Cohen is more than qualified to be the disastrous embodiment of the American dream. When, plagued by business problems, he is informed that his son has been diagnosed with autism, he decides to leave everything, abandon his family and embark on a chaotic and hilarious odyssey in which he will cross the United States by bus in search of an ideal, unreal love. and lost years ago. This journey of self-knowledge capable of destroying everything, in which Barry will establish bizarre relationships with whoever he comes across, is the faithful reflection of the flight forward of an America that has lost control of itself. This is, after all, the present of a country that wants to be great again, perhaps monstrously great.
