Little Failure is a 2014 memoir by American writer Gary Shteyngart.[1]
According to a review in The Guardian by J. Robert Lennon, the book is framed by a panic attack Shteyngart suffered in 1996 after seeing a picture of the Chesme Church in a New York City bookshop.[2]
A comedic book trailer for the memoir featured Rashida Jones, James Franco, Jonathan Franzen, and Alex Karpovsky.[3]
Perhaps Little Failure, which tenderly depicts his family,is a way of making up for that earlier work. Shteyngart’s life is too expansive to fit into a book of workable size, so at times the chapters feel rushed. There is also a problem with proportions: more than two-thirds of the book covers his childhood, leaving very little time to.
