The title for this book is actually perfect, and does sum it up quite succinctly; it is indeed, a super sad love story, but with a winking, satirical dark edge - "super sad" being precisely the kind of eye-rolling vernacular a youth in America's not-too-distant future would employ. Shteyngart's future NYC has "credit poles" that constantly update you of your credit rating (something of vast importance in an America taken over by Fox News-esque neocons), the girls wear absolutely see-through jeans called Onionskins, and talking or 'verballing' is considered a substandard form of communication. Why talk when you can communicate to each other via a device worn around the neck called an 'apparat'? (Ah, Steve Jobs' idea of the future?) This dystopian novel doesn't go too far out there in terms of creating a sci-fi esque America. It's just America, if Glenn Beck has his way. Shteyngart uses this background to tell the story of a mismatched love affair between Lenny, the son of Russian immigrants, teetering on the cusp of 39, unattractive, schlubby, and actually literate - and Eunice, a beautiful 20 year old Korean-American desperately trying to find an identity outside of her broken family structure. Shteyngart truly excels at telling tales of immigrants washed ashore in America, a country always depicted as once brilliant, and always vibrant.
