Q

Gary Shteyngart asks: do bankers have an imagination?

Gary Shteyngart reflects on what he learned about the lives of rich bankers who live in a country deeply divided by wealth.
(Vanessa Nigro)

Novelist Gary Shteyngart hobnobbed with ultrarich hedge-fund managers and rode with weary travellers on the Greyhound bus, all in the service of his new novel, Lake Success. He joins host Tom Power to talk about what he learned about the inner lives of wealthy bankers who live in a country deeply marked by the gulf between rich and poor.
