In Search of America Aboard the Icon of the Seas
Briefly

In this episode of Radio Atlantic, Shteyngart shares his 'seven agonizing nights' on the cruise ship, trying to make friends as he humorously navigates through mall, bar, and infinity pool, likening the experience to a 'low-rent White Lotus'.
Shteyngart discusses the almost spiritual devotion of cruise lovers and the irony of writing about their beloved ship while feeling miserable, leading to a rejection of his plea to disembark and a sarcastic daily log of his despair.
