“It looks like a hodgepodge of domes and minarets, tubes and canopies, like Istanbul had it been designed by idiots.” @Shteyngart embarks on the Icon of the Seas, the biggest cruise ship that’s ever sailed: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
That. That was spectacular, sir. And yes, I agree that "For the creative class to point fingers at the large, breasty gentlemen adrift in tortilla-chip-laden pools of water is to gather a sour harvest of low-hanging fruit." However, as a person who refused to get laid (at a time in life where I really needed to get laid) because my prospective partner had a copy of Atlas Shrugged on her night stand, I wish there would have been a bit more Ayn Rand-related content in your article.
@TheAtlantic @Shteyngart Amazingly, if you decide something will suck, it will. (And no, I’ve never gone on a cruise.)
@TheAtlantic @Shteyngart Sorry Gary, but you’re no Aunt Linda.
