Little Failure is an autobiography of comic genius by the hilarious Gary Shteyngart.



Little Failure - its title the same as the alarming pet-name given to the young Gary Shteyngart by his father when growing up in pre-Glasnost Russia - is one of the most remarkable immigrant memoirs ever written.



A candid and deeply poignant story of a Soviet family's trials and tribulations, and of their escape in 1979 to the consumerist promised land of the USA, it is also an exceptionally funny account of the author's transformation from asthmatic toddler in Red Square to 40-something Manhattanite with a receding hairline and a memoir to write.





'Kicks ass - more fantastic, more unbelievable than his novels' Mary Karr, author of The

Liars' Club



'A marvel of a story. His finest book yet' Zadie Smith



'Little Failure is a delight' Aravid Adiga
