Current Affairs Author Gary Shteyngart - a former expatriate - returns to Prague for writers' festival
Of all the authors' participating in this years' Prague Writers' Festival, none seems like a more apt choice than Gary Shteyngart. His award-winning first novel - The Russian Debutante's Handbook - is actually set in Prague during the early 1990s. The novel has received much praise for the sharp, satirical manner in which it portrays the notorious American expatriate scene that existed in the city back then. We met up with him while he was here to talk about his comic portrayal of this particular period in Prague's recent history.
