Little Failures: Who's the audience that Gary is writing for?

        This question was brought up in class and I think its an important question for actually understanding the book. Yes, Gary Shteyngart brings up events in his life in which I can relate to but I feel that the real audience in which Gary is writing for are the middle class, hopeful individuals/families that have come to America from somewhere else. Gary makes out that the transition of leaving where you come from and adapting to the new Western culture while still hanging on to your roots is beyond difficult. He also indicates that actually obtaining the "American dream"  is much harder than spoken about and the obstacles leading up to it are very stressful. I also feel that this book wasn't written for todays society. I feel that the generation before mine can relate to this book more than I can.
