Gary Shteyngart, author of The Russian Debutante’s Handbook and Absurdistan, is going to be speaking on campus Thursday night at 6:30 in Riggs Library. Forget the way-overrated Jonathan Safran Foer — for over-the-top self-referential Eastern European Jewish wit with just the right amount of poignancy, Shteyngart’s your guy, and he’s sure to be a hit in conversation with Georgetown’s own Jacques Berlinerblau, director of the Program for Jewish Civilization.
Update: RSVP and further information is available here.
