Wait, what the hell is happening now? Whatever it is, it's bullshit.
I haven’t flown American Airlines in many years, but here I am sitting in a broken plane sweltering on a tarmac. Time to reheat this old chestnut. nytimes.com/2012/09/30/opi…
I am so stalkable.
I could not make it to P&P because of the storm & was definitely considering going to Buck’s Fishing & Camping afterwards to stalk you 😆
So excited to talk Vera with the great Alison Stewart! wnyc.org/shows/all-of-it

Signed copies of Vera at @roughdraftbar in Kingston? I’ll drink to that!
Thank you. I did want it to be unpredictable.
Spot-on political satire aside, it's also a lovely, always unpredictable novel.
Blushing & crying.
15 years ago I read Super Sad True Love Story on the beach and was so moved by it I read it again 3 weeks later. Today I read Vera, or Faith on beach vacation and have all the same feelings again. In awe of the talent of @Shteyngart !
I wrote a cheerful essay for @theguardian.com theguardian.com/books/2025/jul…
Just signed 24 extra fresh copies of Vera at the Union Square B&N.
Some truly amazing outtakes from the Times piece by the great Amir Hamja.
On the sub that stacks (link in bio), the Vera tour continues with visits to Dallas, Miami, Ann Arbor and Toledo lots of culinary notes, too.
On the front page of the paper of record! And with a non-triggering headline!
I’m coming to the Midwest tomorrow! Won’t you come with me? And tonight — Books & Books Miami at 7pm.
Vera is the number two selling book in both Southern California AND Mississippi. I’ve never had such diverse regions buying tons of my books! See you tonight at @booksandbooks in Coral Gables with the godfather of indie book stores @mitchellakaplan at 7pm.
Desperately walking toward the Pecan Lodge in the 95 degree heat
TONIGHT
