All the Sad Young Literary Men

Viking Adult, 2008

Promising, but disappoints
Viking seemed to have hopes of creating a new Doug Eggers here, but no go. The writing is clean and sharp, but not insightful or witty. This novel reads like an A- MFA thesis, and deserved publication, not the hype.

This journal raises sharply focused questions, and in this first volume, critiques the McSweeney's posse for their regressive ...

George Orwell, Keith Gessen

Harcourt, 2008

Provides Orwell's reflections on a range of critical topics from literature to art
George Orwell was a fine essayist and successful critic, discussing art and literature with equal ability and ALL ART IS PROPAGANDA: CRITICAL ESSAYS is a key recommendation for all kinds of libraries, from college-level collections strong in literature and social observation to collection also strong in art criticism. It's the latter that should especially consider ALL ART IS PROPAGANDA: it ...
