Gary Shteyngart Returns with A Book Trailer Sequel

Craig Morgan Teicher -- May 19th, 2011

Shteyngart and Felix brave Brooklyn in this new book trailer.

Gary Shteyngart has taken the art of the book trailer to a whole new level–with a sequel!  Remember Shteyngart’s hilarious book trailer for Super Sad True Love Story, featuring a cameo by the ubiquitous James Franco and an amazing performance by a former PW staffer?  Well, the paperback for the book is out, and  Shteyngart is back with another super funny video, this time featuring an extended performance by none other than Paul Giamatti starring as Shteyngart’s roommate.  There’s also a brilliant performance by Felix the Dog.  The hapless trio make a trip into the wilds of Brooklyn, where the illiterate Shteyngart has been asked to speak at a book club in one of Brooklyn’s famous “brownhouses.” The book itself makes only the briefest appearance.

Click through to New York Magazine to see the video; you will laugh a lot.
