It was my pleasure to recently interview Gary Shteyngart, a contributing editor at Travel + Leisure and author of the wildly successful and hilarious books “The Russian Debutante’s Handbook” and “Absurdistan.” Read the interview here, which was published as a feature story on World Hum. Shteyngart’s travel writing has been anthologized in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 editions of the Best American Travel Writing. Take a look at the interview, and I highly recommend you pick up some of his work.
