Absurdistan by Gary Shteyngart

5.0

Misha Vainberg is one of those characters I won't soon forget. He's deeply insecure, but not to the point that he doesn't plow through life as if he owned everyone and everything he encounters. His dreams are irrational, but it never dawns on him that he won't attain them. He's clueless, and I couldn't wait to see what horrible mess he got into (and out of) through the whole book.
