Escape from reality turns into a revelatory journey for billionaire Barry Cohen in Gary Shteyngart's 'Lake Success.' Amid his son's autism diagnosis and SEC scrutiny, Barry abandons his luxe life for a Greyhound odyssey, seeking redemption with his college flame. As Barry confronts America’s stark disparities, Seema, his wife, battles her discontent back in New York. Together, they personify a nation's contradictions and pursuit of lost ideals in this sharply satirical portrait of contemporary life.
