Shteyngart, Paper, Germano

This week in Studio 360, Gary Shteyngart, author of the novel Absurdistan, talks about his grotesque and hilarious take on immigrant life in America. The Wall Street Journal changes its format in favor of tall and skinny. A poet inspires a messy attempt at home paper-making. And we’ll hear musical offerings from the grandfather of indie-rock, Lee Hazlewood, as well as one of his younger admirers, the beautifully melancholic singer-songwriter Lisa Germano.
