Review of 'Absurdistan' on 'Goodreads'

Gary Shteyngarts's Absurdistan is very clever, and has some very funny moments. Misha Vainberg reminded me somewhat of Ignatius Reilly, from Confederacy of Dunces...anyway, this was interesting, engaging, and funny. A good one to finish on April Fools' Day...
