'Gary Shteyngart keeps getting better' Literary Review
'The abiding miracle of Shteyngart's work is that it seems just as timely as a Shouts & Murmurs gag in this week's New Yorker while staying fixed to the timeless absurdity of human life' Washington Post

A frequent contributor to The New Yorker and The Atlantic, Gary Shteyngart is one of the most celebrated and viral essayists of our day. The Sensualist collects his most electric pieces, showcasing why the New York Times describes Gary as 'one of his generation's most exhilarating writers'.

In The Sensualist, Gary chases capybaras, the largest (and cutest) rodent in the world. He joins 7500 fellow passengers on the world's biggest cruise ship. He schleps around New York in search of the best martini, and goes all the way from Turin to Tokyo in pursuit of the perfect blue suit.

To Gary, a sensualist isn't a glutton or an aesthete - and certainly not a snob - but someone who finds the sublime in the details of everyday life. Funny, moving and quietly philosophical, The Sensualist takes us across town and across the world, showing us how to appreciate the joys of life, no matter what.
