LitLounge: Super Sad True Love Story

Join us for a book discussion of Gary Shteyngart's Super Sad True Love Story. Set in a dystopian, near-future New York City, Lenny Abramov is in love with Eunice, and Eunice, the object of Lenny’s affection, is slightly annoyed. Complete with the satire and dark humor that Shteyngart is known for, each of these characters describes their life in this superficial-obsessed world, where America is terminally indebted to China, the government is represented as an otter in a cowboy costume, and your financial worth and sex appeal are projected onto advertisements as you walk by.

Litlounge is a new book group co-sponsored by the Skokie Public Library and the Morton Grove Public Library that meets in the Irish pub, The Curragh at 8266 Lincoln Ave. in Skokie.
