A review by nssutton
All the Sad Young Literary Men by Keith Gessen

2.0

i've got a soft spot for neurotics in person and a hatred for neurotics in books. i just can't handle people who use paragraphs and sentences to describe how they can never ever ever get their shit together. or worse, they liken their personal indiscretions to politics. you spend the whole book feeling terrible for the girls who actually slept with these men, who then write these situations out in their books as if that behavior can be viewed apologetically.

but that was a solid edith wharton reference.
