In this episode of HODINKEE Radio, your host Stephen Pulvirent sits down with New York Times best-selling author, HODINKEE Magazine contributor, and friend of the show Gary Shteyngart. Despite having only caught the watch collecting bug fairly recently, Gary has undeniably become a watch nerd of the highest order (he tans his own watch straps on the porch of his home in Upstate New York, for example). Together, they talk about his forthcoming novel, his thoughts on connoisseurship more generally, and, of course, his love of good red meat. Enjoy.
