"Context and Perspective" - on turning 50. from novelist Gary Shteyngart.
One of the great storytellers (including the wonderful “Super-Sad True Love Story”, a dystopian tech-laced echo of 1984).
More down to earth here (and earthy), a birthday confessional. He’s had a unique and storied life so far… and he sure can write!
Short, fun read. ✍️ 🎂.
This is 50

Books that I read in 2021 - number 27:
I read this book very quickly and cried at the end. The story is simple and hard: a woman in rural India in the 1950s tries to survive the famines and blows of fate with her family. I have rarely heard poverty explained so clearly and simply. A page turner.
