"Vera, or Faith is Gary Shteyngart’s sixth novel. Our Country Friends may be funnier and Lake Success may contain more acerbic cultural commentary. But sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, page by page, Vera, or Faith is arguably Shteyngart’s"

“Last year when my grandma fell and broke her hip she couldn't paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa started doing it for her, even after he fell and broke his hip, too. For me, that's love.”
