Are you a Parisian? Do you like literature of the American sort? Please make the harrowing journey to Vincennes this weekend to hear me and other American writers discuss how it all went wrong.

On garyshteyngart.substack.com, I talk about what it feels like to get into the compact yellow magazine that meant so much to Leetl Immigrant Gari. I also mention the two other magazines that inspired childhood me, only one of which is safe for work.

One of the reasons I chose to live upstate are restaurants like @swoonkitchenbar which showed up in Hudson over two decades ago. They haven’t lost a beat. Insane fried artichokes, silky salmon pate, the best local cheeses, kimchi dumplings…it’s like coming home.

On garyshteyngart.substack.com, I respond with gluttony and trepidation to the new Times’ 100 Best Restaurants list. I’ve only eaten at 37 of these places, so this year may well be my last. 🪦 Check out my strategies and edible hopes and dreams.
