Description
Vladimir is a young Russian-American immigrant whose capitalist dreams and desire for a girlfriend lead him off the straight and narrow into uncharted territory.
From the dreary confines of New York City's Emma Lazarus Immigrant Absorption Society to the hip frontier wilderness of Prava - the Eastern European Paris of the nineties, whose grand and glorious beauty is marred only by the shadow of the looming statue of Stalin's foot - The Russian Debutante's Handbook is a hilarious, extravagant, yet uncannily true to life adventure.

Gary Shteyngart's The Russian Debutante's Handbook is celebrated for its humour, wit and inventiveness. Acclaimed as an acute and intelligent depiction of America in the nineties, it delivers a picaresque narrative that's both adventurous and entertaining. Critics praise the novel's originality, lauding Shteyngart as a talented and funny writer, transcending its personal origins to stand as a notable American story.
