"Gary Shteyngart is a national treasure. He has always written with great humor and heart, but never more so than here. Be careful reading this book in public; it as likely to make you laugh out loud as cry." --Jonathan Safran Foer, bestselling author of Everything Is Illuminated and Here I Am "There cannot be a more relevant novel for our moment, certainly not one with such beauty of description, depth of feeling, and, as always, humor. Gary Shteyngart has written an American comic Decameron, or, to be plain: a masterpiece." --Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less "You can retreat from global catastrophe, but your private calamities will come and find you. Gary Shteyngart's most moving novel, Chekhov and Boccaccio reimagined in America in the year of the pandemic, is a powerful fable of our broken time." --Salman Rushdie, Booker Prize winning author of Midnight's Children, "Shteyngart knows how to make you belly laugh, and he's in his element here, poking fun at the claustrophobia of privilege. He perfectly captures the nature of adult friendships and the petty jealousies, disappointments, and dependencies that can define them." -- Vulture "In the backdrop of the pandemic, Gary Shteyngart gathers his memorable characters in a shelter, where they cook, seduce, and reconsider life's meaning. . . . Like The Decameron, Shteyngart's Our Country Friends reminds us that even in darkness, light promises to return if we reach for love and art." --Min Jin Lee, author of Pachinko, finalist for the National Book Award "Gary Shteyngart is a national treasure. He has always written with great humor and heart, but never more so than here. Be careful reading this book in public; it is as likely to make you laugh out loud as cry." --Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Here I Am "I cannot say enough how much I loved Our Country Friends. It's a tragicomic tour de force about so many things--sex, infatuation, the pandemic, kimchi, racism, immigration, adoption, stalking, Russian writers, K-pop, Japanese reality TV, writing--but most of all, it's about how we create, sever, and mend lifelong bonds of friendship, how we wound and heal those we love most. It's the rare book that, when you turn to the last page, leaves you grateful to the author for creating this world and allowing you in for a time, but also a little sad, filled with regret at having to leave it." --Angie Kim, author of Miracle Creek "Shteyngart's most moving novel, Chekhov and Boccaccio reimagined in America in the year of the pandemic, is a powerful fable of our broken time." --Salman Rushdie, Booker Prize-winning author of Midnight's Children "Shteyngart's big-hearted drama is timely yet timeless with its penetrating and nuanced social commentary exploring identity, racism, celebrity culture, social media, and humanity. Above all, Shteyngart artfully exemplifies love in its many registers--parental, brotherly, romantic--in what is ultimately a 'super sad true love' story." -- Booklist (starred review) "The Great American Pandemic Novel only Shteyngart could write, full of hyphenated identities, killer prose, and wild vitality." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "You can retreat from global catastrophe, but your private calamities will come and find you. Gary Shteyngart's most moving novel, Chekhov and Boccaccio reimagined in America in the year of the pandemic, is a powerful fable of our broken time." --Salman Rushdie, bestselling and award-winning author of The Satanic Verses and Midnight's Children
