Description
Set against the backdrop of America's modern malaise, Lake Success is a scathing satire that follows Barry Cohen as he flees his life in New York City. With a $30,000 bottle of Japanese whisky and six designer watches, Barry embarks on a road trip through Trump's America, leaving behind his beautiful young wife and son.
This poignant tale of love, belonging, and the pursuit of happiness is infused with Gary Shteyngart's trademark wit and an astonishing emotional resonance. As Barry zig-zags south through the country, he finds himself on a collision course with his old college girlfriend, and a second chance at life.
