All the Sad Young Literary Men
- All the Sad Young Literary Men
"All the Sad Young Literary Men" is the debut novel of Keith Gessen, the founder of the journal "n+1". It centers around the stories of three literary-minded friends - Keith, a Harvard-educated writer living in New York City, Sam, living in Boston and writing the "great Zionist epic", and Mark, who is trying to complete a history dissertation on the Mensheviks at Syracuse University.
Real-life inspirations
Much of the book appears to be drawn from Gessen's real-life experiences, although with some names changed.
