Titre : Little failure : a Memoir Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gary Shteyngart, Auteur Editeur : Random House UK, 2014 Description : 363 p ISBN/ISSN : 978-0-8129-8249-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 420 Langue anglaise Résumé : Little Failure is the all too true story of an immigrant family betting its future on America, as told by a lifelong misfit who finally finds a place for himself in the world through books and words. In 1979, a little boy dragging a ginormous fur hat and an overcoat made from the skin of some Soviet woodland creature steps off the plane at New York’s JFK International Airport and into his new American life. His troubles are just beginning. For the former Igor Shteyngart, coming to the United States from the Soviet Union is like stumbling off a monochromatic cliff and landing in a pool of Technicolor. Careening between his Soviet home life and his American aspirations, he finds himself living in two contradictory worlds, wishing for a real home in one. He becomes so strange to his parents that his mother stops bickering with his father long enough to coin the phrase failurchka—“little failure”—which she applies to her once-promising son. With affection. Mostly. From the terrors of Hebrew School to a crash course in first love to a return visit to the homeland that is no longer home, Gary Shteyngart has crafted a ruthlessly brave and funny memoir of searching for every kind of love—family, romantic, and of the self. Nature du document : fiction Genre : autobiographie/récit de vie Niveau : Lycée Thème de fiction : émigration et immigration/cultures/famille Shteyngart Gary. Little failure : a Memoir. Random House UK, 2014, 363 p.

While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.
