Gonna have me a tylenol party tonight

See you tomorrow on the Main Stage at noon in a borough I like to call “Brooklyn.”

This Sunday, I’ll be at the Brooklyn Book Festival with some cool cats at 12pm at Brooklyn Borough Hall. Please come and end my loneliness!

On garyshteyngart.substack.com I attend the unveiling of my friend Paul La Farge’s gravestone and generally miss him.

The 12:30 antifa meeting at the 76th Street Starbucks has been moved to 1:30 because the train del agua people called dibs.

Welcome to a country where the government decides what you see on television. And what you don't see.

Filthy martini and gorgeous deviled eggs really hit the spot at Sailor in Ft Greene

Vera seems to be making a lot of people cry. And she's so well-behaved!

Wait, so the killer was a gropyer? This is giving less Horst Wessel and more Sergei Kirov.

On garyshteyngart.substack.com, I write about the horrors of multitasking for a fledgling content creator like myself. A must for all influencers!

Hear, hear.

Folks, a massive fall Vera tour is on its way!!!! More readings in the winter.

Thanks! Please say hi if you’re in Toronto in December. I get lonely in real democracies.

Thanks! Please say hi in toronto(I’ll try to be more accomplished by then!).

On garyshteyngart.substack.com, I ponder the great question: are my readers more anxious or depressed? And what about me? Zoloft or Ativan?

Two headlines that were literally in Super Sad Tru Luv Story.

Thanks for reading!

Just signed a bunch of Veras at the Union Sq B&N, where it’s a best book of 2025 so far and at @bookclubbar in da east village.

Thank you.

On garyshteyngart.substack.com I look at how hard reading has become for me. Even when it’s a great book like the one I’m holding.

All summer long, people have been telling me Casa Susanna in Leeds is the best new restaurant in the mid-Hudson valley and the best Mexican place in the northeast. They may be right. Pictured here blood sausage tamal and chilaquiles.

Oh, God.

People keep asking me how I stay so thin. On garyshteyngart.substack.com, I reveal the incredible truth. (Ok, it’s drugs, but not the ones you think.) Hamburger and martini courtesy of Banque in Hudson.

What a wonderful and in-depth review from the great @hamiltoncain.bsky.social

Entering a magickal lande of tinee waterfalls and patagoney fleece.

So much fun speaking with Claire Nichols, my favorite Australian on ABC. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

This is kinda amazing. I wish I knew how to shave that well.

On garyshteyngart.substack.com I explore the grueling days of summer, from writing a new book to eating the best sandwich in New York State at @tivoli_general to drinking at the new @badtimesbar. Lots of gratuitous dachshund shots you won’t want to miss.

Holy shit, that coulda been me!

Thanks, James!

Meet the Greek version of Super Sad's Joshie. Even more stressed than his Jewish counterpart. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Haha. Crying emoji.

Thanks for a beautiful review!

Wonderful Wall Street Journal review. Includes my first (and possibly last) comparison to Salinger.

This was a really great talk!

.@AriMelber takes the best watch photos. Maybe he’s a secret horologist?

Vera has finished the month as the best reviewed fiction of July 2025 (joined by the amazing Ed Park). I have had such a great time touring and meeting all of you. In the fall catch me in Chicago, LA, SF, Seattle, Toronto and many other places!!!!

I have so many expressions. Is there a drug that could fix that?

🎧 Listen to the podcast! Writer @shteyngart.bsky.social spoke with @alexis-madrigal.bsky.social about his new novel, "Vera, or Faith," and about navigating complicated families and a dystopian America. 🔗:

Can’t wait!
