In the book Super Sad True Love Story, the author incorporates various scenes that appear to be dystopian flashes his piece of literature. An example of these scenes is provided on page 146 when Grillbitch is writing to Euni-Tard about her depression. She says the main cause of her sadness is that her boyfriend Gopher is having an affair “with this Mexican betch that I saw blowing him, and then I figured out his password on Teens…” The dystopic aspect about his scene is how Grillbitch handles the situation. Usually, women will stay silent of their knowledge and make her guilty partner blur out some evidence that she could use against him. Other times, women take their partner’s phone with of without their permission and begin to search the messages and the phone calls. Then, they would ask the typical questions: who is this number, why were you talking for so long with this person, why does your shirt have lipstick stains, why did you come home so late last night, etc. On the other hand, the author Gary Shteyngart plays a twist on this situation and makes Grillbitch say the following, “I went on this new Teens site called ‘D-Base’ where they can digitize you like covered in shit or getting fucked by four guys at once and I sent Gopher all these Images of myself getting fucked by four guys at once.” According to girls’ behavior in this book, they have to receive respect by having their significant other be aware that they could have an affair with others also. To this day, that action is not deserving of respect. Actually, Grillbitch could be despised by society today for not respecting herself and her dignity.
