Super Sad True Love Story

Big Frank is reading a great novel by Gary Shteyngart: "Super Sad True Love Story". Like all super true, and super sad love stories it is indeed super sad and super deluded. It takes place in a super sad future in which America has moved into a political nightmare where the Bipartisan Party - read sole source of power - reigns supreme and tyranizes the population. Everyone in the novel is constantly distracted by their "apparat" - read cell phone/computer/camera/etc. The main character - Lenny - falls hopelessly and foolishly in love with a Korean-American girl. The chapters alternate between his diaries and e-mail/texts of Eunice, his love interest. For anyone who has ever been in love with someone hopelessly unobtainable and who is also aware of the constant distraction of the "apparats" this is a great book - a sad critic of where we are and who we are.
