Gary Shteyngart, Super Sad True Love Story, 50-98
Study Questions:
1. What do you think the significance is that Lenny's employer, Post-Human Services is headquartered is an old and abandoned (at least by a congregation) synagogue (if you don't know this word, look it up.)? What does that suggest about the character's religious values or about what he and his employer Josh value?
2. This is a novel that employs dialect, the futuristic text speak of Eunice and her friends, Eunice's mothers broken English, as well as the broken English of Lenny's parents (we'll meet them later). Why does Shytengart use dialect in this book? What are the consequences of this choice?
