Get Lit: Novelist Gary Shteyngart's 'Our Country Friends'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Feb 4, 2022

We air our conversation with author Gary Shteyngart from our January Get Lit with All Of It virtual book club event. We spent the month reading his novel Our Country Friends, which tells the story of a group of friends in lockdown together in the Hudson Valley... quarantined with a famous actor. The novel was named one of the best of 2021 by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, and Kirkus, among many more.
