Deborah Eisenberg & Gary Shteyngart

Deborah Eisenberg’s new story collection is Your Duck is My Duck. “There aren’t many contemporary novels as shudderingly intimate and mordantly funny as her best stories,” wrote Ben Marcus. Gary Shteyngart’s new novel is Lake Success. “He holds up a mirror to American culture that is so accurate, and so devastating, that it makes you want to break the mirror right over your own head,” wrote Elizabeth Gilbert. “And I mean this as a good thing.”
